Her Hearts Cry
~
Jesus Take the Wheel
~Carrie Underwood
Her Heart's Cry: "Jesus, Take the Wheel!"
It was August, just one year before
That very drastic day
When her driver let the car drift off
The road, taking her life away.
She and I were going to
The beach that we both so loved...
After two hard years
Of her acting out, she slipped this from its glove...
Put it in the truck's c.d. player for me to hear,
A c.d. entitled simply, "Believe,"
Playing the song that you'll hear here...
Less than one year later, she'd see her mommy grieve...
She played that song, her heart's cry;
She wanted me to know
That though her body acted out,
Her heart before her God was hurting so.
"Jesus take the wheel!" the song would play,
I teased her, "Wait, will this song end well?"
As songs she loved would oft depress her mommy's heart.
She laughed, assuring me it would, one year before I'd be living hell...
Two days after she was killed,
An intuitive friend of mine came by to grieve:
"I think Merry Katherine wants you to have this,"
And she handed me a metal scripted word that simply said,
"Believe."
My friend had no clue of the incident I just shared,
And at the time, I didn't quickly clue in either.
But later when before my Lord, my heart was bared,
I got her message from Heaven, to her Mommy, now a griever...
And though now I'm living hell,
Hurting, missing her, and just wanting her near,
Thankfully my precious child revealed her heart,
And though I'm hurting, I must admit,
Even though we are temporarily apart,
"Yes, her story truly does end... Well!"
Jesus Take the Wheel

Lyrics
Songwriters: James, Brett; Lindsey, Hillary; Sampson, Gordie;
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'd been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way too 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 so scared
She threw her hands up in the air
Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
'Cause I can't do this 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 on 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, ooh
