Jesus Took The Wheel (When I Was Young)

Intro

Early mornings, sunlight breaking through the haze

Questions weighing heavy from my childhood days

Wondering if forgiveness could reach someone like me

Long before the pain, before I lost my way

Verse 1

Jesus took the wheel when I was young

now that I'm older I forgot where I came from

million dollar diamonds and precious stones

The stuff of life, I put faith in what I own

I've fallen down yet I forgot to look up

where living water flows into a simple cup

chorus

Now It's hard to knock,

when Jesus isn't standing at the door

not able to seek and find

when the cares of life steal my time

The True faith hope and love I once believed

Basic need is replaced by wants and selfish greed

post-chorus

Jesus take the wheel , this time forevermore

I need to change, need to do what's right, forgive my wrongs

Jesus take the wheel, take me to where I always belonged

so Jesus can open door,

Verse 2

Been running circles chasing things I can't hold

Trading old convictions for a crown made of gold

But peace runs thin chasing fortunes in the night

Longing for the silence, longing for the light

Chorus

Now It's hard to knock,

when Jesus isn't standing at the door

not able to seek and find

when the cares of life steal my time

The True faith hope and love I once believed

Basic need is replaced by wants and selfish greed

Post-Chorus

Jesus take the wheel , this time forevermore

I need to change, need to do what's right, forgive my wrongs

Jesus take the wheel, take me to where I always belonged

so Jesus can open door,

Bridge

I was lost but now I see the grace upon my face

The weight I carried traded for a warm embrace

I lay it down, all the pride and empty schemes

Found my rest in love that washes over me

Verse 3

A heart renewed, breaking through the fear inside

Stepping through the doorway, with Jesus as my guide

Old chains are fallen, now my spirit is made new

I'm born again, and every word He speaks is true

Chorus

It's not hard to knock,

when Jesus stands waiting by the door

I seek and find

when I give my soul and time

Faith hope and love return to fill my need

True life shining brighter than any earthly greed

Post-Chorus

Jesus take the wheel, now my heart is Yours

I've been changed, want to walk Your light, forgiveness strong

Jesus take the wheel, lead me where I’m restored
