Hive Open Mic week #226. I'm happy to finally participate in this contest despite the challenges I faced while doing the cover. Happy Sunday to you all, I just hope that we are all doing great.
My name is @marialine and I will be doing a cover of the song "Jesus Take The Wheel" by "Carrie-Underwood ".
I choose to do this song because I understood that we need to draw closer to God and depend on Him for our survival in this world. This lady had no option than to pray to God to save her from the accident that was about to happen, though her faith was low, but even if your faith is as little as a muster seed, it can move mountain. In her prayers she also told God she was sorry( a prayer of forgiveness), in all God forgave and saved her. Let's endurevor to always invite God into every situation we find ourselves, He will always answer our prayers.
LYRICS
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
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
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, wow, ohhhhh
