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 would been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way to 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
Courtney was on her way to see Mike and her mother in Cincinnati late Christmas Eve. She hadn't seen them in a while and Kayla wasn't even born the last time but now she was in the backseat 3 months old. It had been such a long year for the both of them. Jax had tried to gain full custody of Kayla and Nikolas, afraid Helena would try to kill Kayla, kept a respectful distance from the both of them. Everything was just going all wrong. So much was on her mind that she didn't even bother to pay attention to the fast speed she was now running and before she knew it she lost control and the car began to spin on the slippery, glass like road.
Both lives, Kayla's as well as her own, flashed before her eyes. Kayla's birth and many other events flashed so fast and everything was happening even quicker that Courtney didn't even have time to cry. She was so scared! What if this was it? What if her life ended this way and Kayla's ended before it even really began? She didn't know anything else to do so she just threw her hands in the air.
Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this all on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
"Jesus please take the wheel!" Courtney screamed. "God take it from my hands I can't do this all on my own." she pleaded. She couldn't handle this alone so what was she to do? "I'm letting go, please protect Kayla, God if you give me just one more chance...one more chance to save me from this road I'm on. Please! Jesus Take the wheel." She had no idea what was going to happen. Visions ran through her head continuously. She may never get the chance to do this over. This may well be the end. All she could do is plead to Jesus. Plead for him to 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
Right when the car made it to the shoulder of the road it stopped. Stopped all at once. She turned instantly to check on Kayla and began to cry when she seen her beautiful baby girl sleeping like a rock not any of the wiser that something had happened. For the first time in a long time, maybe forever, Courtney bowed her head to pray. Pray to God and thank him that he saved her and her little girl. "I'm sorry for the way I've been living my life. I know I gotta change...for me and for Kayla...That starts tonight." She said as she raised her head and turned back to look at Kayla. "Hear that baby girl? It starts tonight..."
Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this all my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
