Song Lyrics

"Flood"

by Jars Of Clay
Album: Jar of Gems

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 crashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me *oh Lord.
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
Casting down our waves of sin
And guilt that's overflowing == notes: I'm not sure if this is exactly accurate or not, but I do know that what was originally there is not what they are singing. It is clearly 'Casting' not Cast, and it could be 'our risen sin' or 'our waves of sin'. The second line, I have even less ability to understand what they are saying, but it's at least grammatically correct now, and it's just as plausible.


[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
