Jars Of Clay
"Flood"


rain, rain on my face
it 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 thrashing waves
lift me up so high that I cannot fall
lift me up
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 - keep me from drowning again

downpour on my soul
splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control
dark sky all around
I can't feel my feet touching the ground

[CHORUS]

calm the storms that drench my eyes
dry the streams still flowing
cast down all the waves of sin
and guilt that overthrow me

[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 - keep me from drowning again
