Take The Wheel
words and music by Mitch McVicker
I've lost my head, I've lost my nerve.
Can't even remember where I put them.
And there are some curves coming my way.
The road is gettin' slippery.
This journey's long, this night's been dark.
Can't even recall where I have gone, but it's been hard.
And I don't want it easy.
I just don't wanna follow my own lead...no more.
Chorus
So take the wheel, take me wherever you want.
Just lead me home.
Yeah, take the wheel, wherever you want now.
I am ready to go.
Just be my guide, my fuel, my lights, my steel,
my shine, my wheels, my rubber to the road,
my off, my on, my here, my gone, my song playing on the radio.
Be my map, my mission, my cylinders hittin',
my air condition, my caffeine buzz,
my peace, my strength, and as I'm going on my way,
be my patient love.
I try to pick the best way but
this is taking my feet one way
and my soul wants to go to another place.
I've had trouble hearing your voice
and trouble steering my course.
Chorus
Yeah take the wheel, take me wherever you want now.
I am ready to go.
Oh, take the wheel, come on and lead me home.
I am ready, I am ready.
Just be my guide, my fuel, my lights, my steel,
my shine, my wheels, my rubber to the road,
my off, my on, my here, my gone, my song playing on the radio.
Be my map, my mission, my cylinders hittin',
my air condition, my caffeine buzz,
my peace, my strength, and as I'm going on my way,
be my patient love.

From Mitch:
"This is my prayer that as I travel I would trust the spirit to guide me and lead me. it is my hope that I might be humble enough and contrite enough to relinquish some of the control that I think is so important to hang on to and so difficult to let go of. I long for Jesus to steer."
