Flood

Jars Of Clay · Triple Feature [2010]

Rain, rain on my face

It hasn't stopped raining for days

My world is a flood

Slowly I become one with the mud



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-wo



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



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-wo



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



Calm the storms that drench my eyes

Dry the streams still flowing

Casting down all the waves of sin

And guilt that overthrow me



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-wo



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 [2x]
