Jesus Take the Wheel {Lyrics}

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   May 15, 2007


I know it's long, but it's actually a pretty fast read.
``````````````````````````````````
{Verse 1}

A melody's crying, the music's dying,
Can you hear their sad, sad song?
They've lost all prayers, yet off they stare,
Into the heavens where hope belongs.

Remember the stars and consider how far
They are from their closest friend.
Breathe in deep and let the clouds weep,
The distance is too much to comprehend.

{Hook}

And there's something about those crying melodies,
That makes me want to sing this song . . .

{Chorus}

There's hope left in this place -- I can tell when I look at your face.
I feel much safer now that you're here.
And although we cry, it gives me hope that we can try.
And move on from old memories that bring tears.

In us all, there's a song if only you'll sing along --
Now I feel like we're free.
Flying high like an angel, I can be strong,
And I will believe.

{Verse Two}
Dim the lights; with you I'll be all right;
For you'll come to save me.
The longer this song, the more I become strong,
For it helps to set me free.

If we can touch, is it too much?
It's so complex how we can feel.
Hold on tight, make him your crutch;
Just let Jesus take the wheel.

{Hook}

And there's something about those crying melodies,
That makes me want to sing this song . . .

{Chorus}

There's hope left in this place -- I can tell when I look at your face.
I feel much safer now that you're here.
And although we cry, it gives me hope that we can try.
And move on from old memories that bring tears.

In us all, there's a song if only you'll sing along --
Now I feel like we're free.
Flying high like an angel, I can be strong,
And I will believe.

{Verse 3}

Why fight against God, when we can't count the odds;
There's so many questions to this place.
All we have left is a prayer, so let's combine our hearts and share;
There is no timing to this race.

If we can touch, is it too much?
It's so complex how we can feel.
Hold on tight, make him your crutch;
Just let Jesus take the wheel.

    Wow normally I HATE reading songs because without the music I cant really get into them but this one I really liked. It was a very religious song though, and thats another reason is suprised me because I normally dont like those either. But amazing job and creating a chorus that made sence every time it was repeated. Nice job. and I loved the angel talks.

    OMG this is so nice. I am religious so i feel this poem is so true and real. I would love to hear it in a song. Even it is already a song. Which you probably know. But seriously nice work. Well Done. 5/5 ^_^

    I'll write this as I read.
    But the very first stanza is beautiful.
    I found one flaw in there,
    It annoyed me because I shouldn't have seen it.
    But still, it was...
    Can you hear their [[sad, sad]] song?
    You should erase one of the sad in there
    And replace it with a synonym or something.

    I love your hook, UGH! It's beautiful.
    I understand why you love this so much.

    There's hope left in this place -- I can tell when I look at your face.
    I feel much safer now that you're here.
    And although we cry, it gives me hope that we can try.
    And move on from old memories that bring tears.

    It feels like those are all just clumped up together.
    It just sounded wrong to me for some reason.
    You know when someone's reading in school
    And they're talking too fast because they're nervous?
    Thats how it sounded to me.

    Just let Jesus hold the wheel is a great ending.
    It's dramatic but not so dramatic.
    I know it's weird.
    But I found this song beautiful.
    You should write more of them and give me tips.
    Lol.
    But still, 5/5?
