Jars Of Clay - Flood lyrics

rate me

Rain, rain on my face

It hasn't stopped raining for days

My world is a flood

Slowly I become one with the mud

<i>[Chorus:]</i>

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

<i>[Chorus]</i>

Calm the storms that drench my eyes

Dry the streams still flowing

Cast down all the waves of sin

And guilt that overthrow me

<i>[Chorus]</i>

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
