Jesus Take The Wheel
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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
Save me from this road I'm on
Ooh, Jesus take the wheel, ooh, 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, ooh take it, take it from me
Ooh, ooh, wah ah, ooh, ooh, ooh
The song "Jesus Take The Wheel" by KIDZ BOP Kids is a story of a woman who is driving alone with her baby on a snowy Christmas Eve to visit her parents. Although she has a lot on her mind and is running low on faith and gas, she fails to pay attention to her speed and starts to go too fast. Before she knows it, she loses control of the car and starts spinning on a thin black sheet of glass. As she's scared and feels helpless, she throws her hands up in the air and cries out for Jesus to take over.
The woman acknowledges that she can't do this on her own and is willing to let go of the wheel. She believes that Jesus can give her one more chance and save her from the road that she's on. As she makes it to the shoulder and sees her baby sleeping peacefully in the backseat, she finally turns to prayer and apologizes for living her life the way she has. She realizes the need to change her ways and asks Jesus to take control of her life.
This song is a reminder that sometimes we don't have control of our lives, and we need to let go and trust in a higher power. It encourages listeners to have faith and put their trust in Jesus during the difficult times.
