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
