In the song “Jesus, Take the Wheel” by Carrie Underwood, the baby does not die. The song narrates a dramatic moment when the driver, a woman, is struggling to regain control of her car after losing control on icy roads. As she feels overwhelmed and unable to steer, she prays for Jesus to take the wheel and guide her.
The story in the song focuses on the woman’s prayer for help, and at the end of the song, the situation resolves with a sense of safety. The baby in the song is her child, and the implication is that she and her child are both safe. There is no mention of the baby dying, and the song ends on a note of hope, with the woman feeling that divine intervention has saved them both.
The central message of the song is about faith, surrender, and trust in a higher power during a life-threatening situation.
