Take The Wheel Lord

Slow, slightly bluesy song in a six feel, about working our own plans and realizing that life works way better when we surrender control. Speaks of modern culture, distractability, and the need to put God first and in front.

Lyrics

Take the Wheel Lord
© 2010 Rob Krabbe

Verse 1
All the distractions, the factions, all the interactions, and me
My reaction is not what I wanted it to be,
You see, I try to keep, my heart focused on You
When I wake up, in the morning, I remember your warning, I take up
The need for me to keep, my eyes trained on your Glory
But the truth is you already knew

That the first chance I’d have, for my attention to wander
I’d ponder the day, or the way my life got the better of me
So by the end of the day, when I have fallen away,
I find the only thing I want once again is to fall back into you.

Chorus
Take the wheel, Lord, guide me on to the that life giving water
Lord, take the wheel, and keep my eyes glued upon you
Take the wheel, and no matter what happens today,
Remind me the only way the only thing I need to do,
is to Keep my eyes on You

Verse 2
Jesus, eyes on the mission, the people tried to listen
But never did grasp all of His intentions,
Or understand what he was trying to say
But when hind site, comes on my bind side, I didn’t do much better,
Trying to understand
Then I end up playing my own hand, and I lose.

When the things we need to know, how to love how to worship
He telling us over and over, just keep your eyes always on me
Jesus, keep my eyes open and focused, and guide,
Teach me, what you want me to be

Bridge 1
With my eyes on you, my heart is filled with compassion
With my eyes on You, I only know how to love
With my eyes on You, I want to tell the story
So everyone sees your glory,
When its time, Lord to come on home to you.
