Jesus Take the Wheel

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Young and a little wild back then, Two kids who barely knew the plan, A country club, a training day, A tan and blue eyes walked my way. Late through the door, my heart went still, And oh, it's beating for you still. [Chorus] We let Jesus take the wheel, On our knees is how we'd heal, Forty years of holding on, Michael, look how far we've come. Faith and family, side by side, You're my honey, you're my guide. [Verse 2] A baby came, we said "I do," A dream of four and starting new. One boy, three girls, a house of noise, So many tears, so many joys. You put me first, you worked so hard, You gave our children solid ground. [Chorus] We let Jesus take the wheel, On our knees is how we'd heal, Forty years of holding on, Michael, look how far we've come. Faith and family, side by side, You're my honey, you're my guide. [Bridge] We buried brothers, said goodbye, Held our parents when they died, But your courage carried through, God and me, we leaned on you. [Verse 3] Remember that old camper truck, Two babies and a mountain trail? We pushed on up through all the muck, And morning brought a wondrous sight, A herd of elk in golden light. Michael, love, we did it right. [Chorus] We let Jesus take the wheel, On our knees is how we'd heal, Forty years of holding on, Look how far our love has grown. Faith and family, side by side, You're my honey, you're my pride. [Outro] Blue eyes shining, still so true, Forty years, I'd choose you. Thank the Lord for all He's done, My adventure, you're the one.
