    My aunt bought this cd for me when I was 16 in hopes that it would lead me to Christ. I rejected it and Him. Oh what a mistake. I spent the next decades drowning in addiction and misery. But even so the Lord was faithful! Praise Jesus for never leaving or forsaking me and taking me back!

Sometimes it's a friend who lifts us up and sometimes it's something or someone else. As I always say, good music is universal.

    Any atheists on here love this song? because I am and I love this song. Then again I was 6 when this song came out so I didn't know what it was about. My mom was a rocker and loved music so I loved most 90s music especially the music she listened to. I remember her having a Jars of Clay CD among many many other great albums from 90s 80s 70s. I am so grateful for the music she introduced me to but as of late all that great music that has always brought me back to good times and made me feel good is now making me sad. My mother passed away this past Christmas eve. I hope that one day this music will make me happy like it did before and make me think of the good times with my mother. Anyway been listening to this song since I was 6 years old and now I'm 27. man I miss those days so much good music.

    The song's production, helmed by the renowned former King Crimson guitarist and superbrilliant solo artist: Adrian Belew, bestowed upon it a sonorous richness akin to an auditory deluge. Belew employed a unique "over-compression" technique, opting to expand the sound's dynamic range rather than compressing the spectrum, resulting in a distinctive sonic experience.
    Beyond producing, Belew also lent his musical prowess to the track by playing certain string parts and orchestrating the captivating middle section of 'Flood.' His contributions rendered the song truly one-of-a-kind, leaving a lasting impression with its unparalleled sound.

    I have been trying to find this song again for a while. I'm almost sure that I didn't know that it was a Christian song the first time I heard it, and even though I'm a Christian, that point was always a huge part of the song's appeal to me. ANYONE can enjoy this.

    This song, as well as Christian Rock in general, saved me from a very bad place. After a period of years where I was angry with God, He used these songs to reel me back in and brought me back to a better relationship with Him. I cannot count how many blessings and how much Grace I have been shown while I am worthy of none of it.

    I was raised in a Christian family listening to Christian music. This is one of my older brother's favorite songs and bands. To me, this is a timeless Christian rock classic. It's amazing how this song manages to sound so powerful, heavy, and in your face with acoustic guitars, clean singing, and beautiful harmonies.

    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 40 days
    And my mind is crushed
    By the crashing 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 and keep me from drowning again
    Down pour 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 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 and 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
    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 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 and 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, and keep me from drowning again

    I think this song is really open to interpretation. To me, it speaks of looking for hope and salvation, when you feel down and everything is fall apart at the seams. It comes from a dark place yet looking for that light at the end tunnel. Some people find that in God or another religion, others look to their family and friends, and others find a solace in something they love such as music.
