Flood (Jars of Clay) (song)

Jesus said, "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." (Matthew 7:24-27)

Lyrics

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 forty days

And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves

Lift me up so high that I cannot fall

Lift me

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, and keep me from drowning

Downpour on my sores, splashing in the ocean

I'm losing control

Dark sky all around me

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

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, and keep me from drowning

Calm the storms that drench my eyes

And dry the streams still flowing

Cast and down always and sing

And guilt that overflowing

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

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, and keep me from drowning
