Few songs can instantly change a superstar’s life but “Jesus Take The Wheel” did exactly that for Carrie Underwood two decades ago. The song is celebrating its twentieth anniversary, a true sign of its lasting power. Carrie herself shared that being able to sing this beautiful song is a great blessing. It was brought to life by the genius of three talented writers: Brett James, Hillary Lindsey, and Gordie Sampson.
The clip shows Carrie standing on a big stage, wearing a glowing red dress that looks like a cloud of fire. The lights are low, but her voice is bright and strong as she sings about a scary moment on a snowy road. She sings about a woman who is “running low on faith and gasoline,” a perfect picture of feeling completely lost. That feeling of hitting rock bottom and giving up control is what makes the music so special.

People who hear this song often feel a real connection to its message of hope and release. One listener wrote that the song helped them remember that God is truly in control when they felt too worried to keep going. Another viewer simply said “This song is my anthem for letting go of fear.” That quote right there shows why the music still matters so much today.
The twentieth-anniversary celebration of this song shows how much it has helped people over time. The feeling of giving up and finding peace is powerful. It is time to hear an earlier performance of the song, where we can see the beginning of the song’s amazing journey and the strength it gave Carrie from the very start.
