Jars Of Clay lyrics - Flood

album: Furthermore: From the Studio/From the Stage (2003)
album: Jar of Gems (2001)
album: Jars of Clay (1995)
genre:

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]
