Flood Lyrics by Jars of Clay

Greatest Hits

1995

[Verse 1]
Rain, rain on my face
Hasn't stopped raining for days
My world is a flood
Slowly I become one with the mud
[Chorus]
But if I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me oh oh
[Post-Chorus]
(Lift me up) When I'm falling
(Lift me up) I'm weak and I'm dying
(Lift me up) I need you to hold me
(Lift me up) And keep me from drowning again
[Verse 2]
Downpour on my soul
Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control
Dark sky all around
Can't feel my feet touching the ground
[Chorus]
But if I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me oh oh
[Post-Chorus]
(Lift me up) When I'm falling
(Lift me up) I'm weak and I'm dying
(Lift me up) I need you to hold me
(Lift me up) And keep me from drowning again
[Bridge]
Calm the storms that drench my eyes
And dry the streams still flowing
Casting down all waves of sin
And guilt that overthrow me
[Chorus]
But if I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me oh oh
[Post-Chorus]
(Lift me up) When I'm falling
(Lift me up) I'm weak and I'm dying
(Lift me up) I need you to hold me
(Lift me up) And keep me from drowning again
[Post-Chorus]
(Lift me up) When I'm falling
(Lift me up) I'm weak and I'm dying
(Lift me up) I need you to hold me
(Lift me up) And keep me from drowning again
