"Jesus, Take the Wheel" is a song written by Brett James, Hillary Lindsey and Gordie Sampson, and recorded by American country music artist Carrie Underwood.

"Jesus, Take the Wheel" became the first of Underwood's record-setting 15 number-one singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs[A] chart, spending six weeks at the number one position.

"Jesus, Take the Wheel" has sold over 2.743 million copies in the United States as of February 2016 and has been certified two-times Platinum by the RIAA.

Underwood has performed "Jesus, Take the Wheel" during multiple awards show appearances and has included the song on the set list for all of her headlining concert tours.

[3] Lyrically, the song tells the story of a woman who survives a car crash, seemingly as part of a miracle of divine intervention.

"Jesus, Take the Wheel" also hit number one of the Canadian country airplay chart compiled by Radio & Records.
