Flood Songtext
von Jars of Clay

Rain, rain on my face
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 40 days
And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me oh

(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
Can′t feel my feet touching the ground


But if I can't swim after 40 days
And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me oh

(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
And dry the streams still flowing
Casting down all waves of sin
And guilt that overthrow me

If I can't swim after 40 days
And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me oh

(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


(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
