Jesus took the wheel

You have been watching over me,

when there were things I could not see,

dangers that would lurk about,

smouldering embers, quickly put out

Yet, for what You did the other day

I can not find the words to say,

to express my heartfelt gratitude,

for Your protection, so astute

The car veered off the road that day

as it began to heave and sway,

but You held the steering wheel so tight

that I did not even get a fright

I could feel the car regain control,

just as I thought it’d start to roll,

and as I grabbed a hold of the wheel,

You were already steering it, I could feel

Then it suddenly dawned on me

what You’d been trying to make me see

as we pulled away from the stop

and Your reassurances came non-stop

You told me that we would safely arrive,

that You would keep us all alive,

and I wondered why You were persisting

when I had no worries over this thing

Then, when the car rolled to a halt

and everyone wondered who was at fault,

I could only bring You heartfelt praise -

my Shepherd is with me, all of my days!
