Jesus, Take the Wheel

Have you heard Carrie Underwood's song, Jesus, Take the Wheel? If there was a time in my life that I needed Jesus to take the wheel, it is now. It really comes down to surrender. T

The CD, which this song is included, is what I gave Phyllis for Christmas. Carrie is going to go farther than any of the American Idols. After she auditioned, Randy Jackson looked at Paula and Simon with a puzzled look and said something like, "Why hasn't she been discovered. I can't believe she hasn't been discovered." Simon predicted that she would go farther than any other Idol. What do you think?

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
It been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way to fast
Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was sooo scared
She threw her hands up in the air

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this all on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this all my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on

Oh, Jesus take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, why, oh

I love that song too, and I really like Carrie. My dearly departed mother liked her too.

Thanks Bro.

That is an awesome CD! I love all the songs -- except the Young and Beautiful one! (Do you like it?)

Great CD though. LOVE AMERICAN IDOL! So excited it's starting again.
