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!
@@Theanswerisblowinginthewind Yeah, i bet Jesus would be so against the gays.. what is he thinking supporting humans? Its 2024, if Christianity hasnt caught up to that, then it needs to be seriously changed. The Church i would go to is inclusive, and even had a gay minister, who was very loved by all. The Conservative Christian attitude is started to go away, as it should.
Must've been an act of rebellion from some exhasperated dj, unable to endure yet another insipid, uninspiring song. if u hear a 3rd Day songs played, u KNOW there's on-air rebellion going on

He has control. That being said- It's incredibly irresponsible and irreversible to not have an open mind and openness to the redeeming of your eternal soul by the Son of God. Peace be with you.
My older cousin had a Jars of Clay CD back when I was in middle school and I thought, “wow my cousin listens to rock music too?!” It was taboo for a black kid in a black community to listen to rock music. I never knew they had a deeper meaning to their music. His was reaching me even then!
As an active member of the church, it wasn’t acceptable for me to feel the way that I felt… this song/band led me threw a dark time when I was just told to pray…. And btw Creed is almost solely responsible for bringing back hard rock/heavy metal at a time when no one was listening to it…
Back in 96 when this song came out, I was 22, Sgt in the Marine Corps and life was perfect. Fast forward, I'm 46 and every word of this song is about the life I live now... 39 days and I'm drowning, lift me up please...
Are you ok? I know so much about mental illness( genetic neurological disorders) and ptsd. Hang in and reach out. Life is not exactly what it seems man.

Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me. Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me.

Same here. I was 14/15 yrs old when I first heard this and turn my life over to God. I would always hear this song in my head when life got hard and I’m glad I found it and downloaded it on my phone so I can hear it at work.
"Calm the storms that drench my eyes, and dry the streams still flowing, casting down all waves of sin,and guilt that overthrow me"....I love these guys!!
Fly Leaf is way better. And I could name an uncountable amount of 90s songs that are infinitely better than this. You haven’t exposed yourself to much music apparently.
What's great about youtube - is you can share this song to people that were not even born when it was performed... and it still sounds fresh and New-to-them. They are stunned when they find out it was written before they breathed air ! :-D
I'm agnostic and learned of this song because of a remix done of it. Whether you're a person of faith, spiritual, agnostic or atheist the song's message can be appreciated by all. 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.
This song is profoundly strong. When it came out I listened to many alternative songs. My young son was 5 and he could sing this song word for word. It’s the one that got to him and that was moving. He always asked mom play flood song.
@Holly Cranfan little memories like that from my childhood is what draws me back to God when my faith is wavering. Some songs had a profound impact on me when I knew i had been falling further from God, including this song being one of them. I am grateful for growing up listening to Christian music.
T.L. Spitz...you are EXACTLY RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙏⚡🙏 GOD is ALWAYS there for us even if we think he's not there or not listening. He puts the right songs in front of us to comfort us, the right people, Christians ✝️, the right circumstances etc....He is an awesome and loving God ❤ ♥ 💖
It was late summer of 95.. I was camped out in a small beach house on the Outer banks. The wind was blowing out of the east and the rain was pattering on the window. I woke up to this song on the small radio alarm clock as I patiently was waiting for the wind to go offshore for some epic surfing. That day is a memory I'll take to my grave
I hated God in the 90's but loved this song thinking it was just another grunge song singing about floods or something! I had no idea what was coming to me!
I came across a jimmy fallon clip on youtube. One of the guests guessed "jars of clay" and i couldnt for the life of me remember a single song. Man, they are still so good. The grunge of christian rock.
MrVolcomclassic Yeah, I was really young when this came out, but I do remember it on alternative radio. Then my teenage sisters were invited to church camp with a friend and were super confused when they also heard it on Christian radio lol.
I remember hearing it on a major college radio station and the DJs were all excited and it was so awesome.... it was a very exciting time and it was a great song, and it still is- especially compared to the boring mundane fluff that's on now
I remember that too. I thought this album would FINALLY break "Christian music" into the mainstream. It sort of did... then their next album was a disappointment.
Nothing speaks to me like Christian music (not all Christian music!). There's a beauty and timelessness to the message. Mainstream music rarely has that quality. My favorite music is largely CCM.
Scotty Van Reeth , thank you man! all things are possible through Christ. I have had ups and downs, but have managed to stay clean 432 consecutive days since I surrendered my old way of life to god.
Non religious...i was...now im not and ironically i was junkie for years...now im not that either...lol...glad to hear u made it...i know the struggle muh dude. Stay up.
For those struggling with addiction: read the bible and get to know God DAILY, get baptized and receive the holy spirit (if you haven't been already), pray to God for deliverance when you feel urges (and whenever), and talk to some trustworthy God-fearing friends to help support to you and keep you accountable. You may not feel like you can overcome it, but Jesus is victorious over the world and you can do anything through him.
Popped up on my feed. Haven’t listened to this in decades but God knew I needed it right here, right now. 😭 literally helped calm my anxiety and to focus on God, my fortress.
Me Too!!! Randomly popped up in my feed too. At the Right Time. Praise Jesus. Thank you God for your intervention. And help anyone hearing this song. God please help anyone hearing this song. Jesus, we submit.
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.
Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Faith is the evidence of things unseen and the substance of things hoped for.
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.
" Any atheists on here love this song? " Absolutely. I always loved the melody and the vocal harmonies. What a soothing voice that guy has. I wish you to have the same good times you had before losing your mom.
I recently watched a movie called "Hard Rain" with Christian Slater and Morgan Freeman. They play this at the very end of the movie. Very fitting for it. Brought back memories of a life I used to live. Thank God he got me out of the flood and he still continuing to. I'm not perfect but God is always there to help me.

Jars of Clay canción "Flood", de su álbum debut, fue utilizada como tema de A & E documental de 2006 Dios o la chica, que seguía la vida de cuatro jóvenes de decidir si convertirse en sacerdotes católicos
Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom and God inhabits the praises of His people...Blessings to all who have found salvation through Christ Jesus 🙏❤
When you combine a respectable group of talented musicians with insightful verses in song, you gotta know it will stand the test of time for all generations.
Most Christian rock disgusts me on a purely artistic level but this does Christianity justice in my humble opinion. It appeals to me in the way traditional Christian music does highlighting the yearning for God over the self satisfaction of someone who thinks themselves holier than thou.
I'm no longer Catholic as I was raised, but I still like JoC. Thanks to all Christians who are accepting of other faiths or lack thereof and still help them. I love you all!
Reebokanonymous. Ugh, please take the time to learn your Catholic faith and not listen to these ppl on here trying to explain something to u they obviously know nothing about, which u can tell by their ignorant comments to u!!!
@kevin willems Jesus is God in human form the living word. the great message of the Bible is Christ, that he came to this earth to live a perfect sinless life to teach us about the truth and to die as the true Passover Lamb the Innocent sacrificial atonement for our sins verse the scriptures Boldy Proclaim believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved .
Please keep seeking the Truth. Ask the Spirit of Truth to guide you into all truth. The Holy Spirit will show you the Catholic Church is the one true Church of Jesus and the only source of His full Gospel.
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 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.
I haven’t heard this forever. They came to Colorado after this came out. My teenage daughter begged me to take her. It was in the Rocky Mountains and the place was packed. We had the best time. I wish they would tour 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.
I was about 10 years old when my older sister would play this on her radio and I always loved it! I’m 36 now & It definitely means something completely different than it did when I was a kid! I love songs that are timeless like this one! Classic! ❤
Such a versatile song, although i am glad it's underlying grasp is truly about walking with God. Stick with it everyone, you can do it. No matter what you're going through!
I became a lover of Jesus because after 50 years of making my own decisions, I was tired of failing and God gave me high intelligence believe it or not. If the world proved Jesus never existed, I would still believe and love Him. I am beyond faith, I know!! Thank you Jesus for the blessings every day you give. I am nothing without you.
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 love this music; so uplifting. I can imagine when Noah's ship began to lift into the waters of the world, leaving behind the whole world; what he and his family must've been feeling, as God was protecting them, to bring them to a new life, a new world....
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.

Awesome Rob 7 years myself
Go Rob GO!
I am not religious but good music is good music; so I keep listening.
You still believe in Jesus? Religion can be retarded.
Being a teenager in the 90's was euphoric to me..
Its a blessing if you lived it.
I was in my 20s and even so, it carries a nostalgia, and here I am 53 yo, wanting to hear. It makes me weep in a cleansing way❤
Being a twenty-something then was also wonderful.
Nothing like it.

This is with out a doubt, one of the best Christian songs in existence

close second, also on eagles wings aint bad either...
You are 100% right

+Jacob Sturd Agreed. Casting Crowns "Voice of Truth" is a close second for me though.
I heard this in 95, I was 13-14, gonna introduce my 6 year old to it here in 2024. He’s 6, but appreciates bangers and Christian music.
Finally after 20 years I find this song!!! Couldn't remember the name...I'm SO happy!!!
good for you, i can definitely relate
Psalm 112..🌱
Same here. I was 14/15 yrs old when I first heard this and turn my life over to God. I would always hear this song in my head when life got hard and I’m glad I found it and downloaded it on my phone so I can hear it at work.
Yeah same except it was my dad trying to find this song
Same thing here !
"Calm the storms that drench my eyes, and dry the streams still flowing, casting down all waves of sin,and guilt that overthrow me"....I love these guys!!
Your so beautiful

Best part of the song
Ha ha! I read this just a they sang it! lol! Bang on timing too!

Some songs had a profound impact on me when I knew i had been falling further from God, including this song being one of them. I am grateful for growing up listening to Christian music.
T.L. Spitz...you are EXACTLY RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙏⚡🙏 GOD is ALWAYS there for us even if we think he's not there or not listening. He puts the right songs in front of us to comfort us, the right people, Christians ✝️, the right circumstances etc....He is an awesome and loving God ❤ ♥ 💖
That's the beauty of music....everyone can find what they need in it and it could be different from person to person
It was late summer of 95.. I was camped out in a small beach house on the Outer banks. The wind was blowing out of the east and the rain was pattering on the window. I woke up to this song on the small radio alarm clock as I patiently was waiting for the wind to go offshore for some epic surfing. That day is a memory I'll take to my grave
God was calling you and he still is..
Cape Hatteras is a magical place
@@chrisp.9172LOL
You should be a writer if you're not. You brought me there in just those couple sentences. ❤️
Without any doubt this is one of the best 90s songs HANDS DOWN!
Hands down for sure, until someone physically lifts up their hand. 🤣🤣🤣
I’d say it’s one of the best it’s not the best one headlight by The Wallflowers iris Goo Goo Dolls Alanis Morissette ironic
It's absolute trash
I hated God in the 90's but loved this song thinking it was just another grunge song singing about floods or something! I had no idea what was coming to me!
Ha ha! NO.
I came across a jimmy fallon clip on youtube. One of the guests guessed "jars of clay" and i couldnt for the life of me remember a single song. Man, they are still so good. The grunge of christian rock.
I remember this song was so good it actually was in mainstream hearing this song on the radio on my local alternative rock station. Good stuff.
MrVolcomclassic Yeah, I was really young when this came out, but I do remember it on alternative radio. Then my teenage sisters were invited to church camp with a friend and were super confused when they also heard it on Christian radio lol.
I remember hearing it on a major college radio station and the DJs were all excited and it was so awesome.... it was a very exciting time and it was a great song, and it still is- especially compared to the boring mundane fluff that's on now
I remember that too. I thought this album would FINALLY break "Christian music" into the mainstream. It sort of did... then their next album was a disappointment.
Nothing speaks to me like Christian music (not all Christian music!). There's a beauty and timelessness to the message. Mainstream music rarely has that quality. My favorite music is largely CCM.
I would
never have known it was Christian music cause it was on a radio station that plays normal music.
this sing brought me through my first 40 days of recovery
ithaley stay strong brother. hope you're still clean and serene from whatever you were struggling with. praying for you.
Scotty Van Reeth , thank you man! all things are possible through Christ. I have had ups and downs, but have managed to stay clean 432 consecutive days since I surrendered my old way of life to god.
ithaley wow praise God
You are Proof, that with God ALL things are possible!!! ty
Non religious...i was...now im not and ironically i was junkie for years...now im not that either...lol...glad to hear u made it...i know the struggle muh dude. Stay up.
My neighbor would listen to this song over and over after his wife left him.
I hope he is okay.
For those struggling with addiction: read the bible and get to know God DAILY, get baptized and receive the holy spirit (if you haven't been already), pray to God for deliverance when you feel urges (and whenever), and talk to some trustworthy God-fearing friends to help support to you and keep you accountable.
You may not feel like you can overcome it, but Jesus is victorious over the world and you can do anything through him.
I couldn't have said it better!! Amen my dear friend in Christ Jesus!! Amen!! Amen!! That is absolutely true and correct!!!!
It's not everyday that a Christian rock band cracks the top 40
Did “The Call” break?
Happens all the time. A ton of what's on the radio are christian bands that got burned out playing on only christian venues. Skillet for one.
I remember first hearing this song on secular radio station. My spirit perked up and I said WHAT is this?
🤔👍🏽“ - Creed hit #1 - with “With Arms Wide Open” - but they denied that they were a “Christian rock band” , sounded like that to me though - “ 👍🏽🤔
Popped up on my feed. Haven’t listened to this in decades but God knew I needed it right here, right now. 😭 literally helped calm my anxiety and to focus on God, my fortress.
Same thing here today.
You and I both, my brother ! 🙏
Me Too!!! Randomly popped up in my feed too. At the Right Time. Praise Jesus. Thank you God for your intervention. And help anyone hearing this song. God please help anyone hearing this song. Jesus, we submit.
My local radio station 97.1 Dallas/Ftw played this today and I really needed it❤❤❤
The Lord led me to this song just now! Brilliantly written. 👑🙌🎶❤️🎶
This song help me to get through a sad divorce THANK YOU LORD
Had this song on CD on active duty in the Marines.
That opening acoustic riff is like the bat signal for youth group kids approaching middle age
LMAO hahaha
Holy shit!! Hilarious!
accurate lol

Hahahahha 😂😂😂😂😂 omfg summer Christian camp at Calvin Crest in California so much 🙌
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.
Thank you for the insight 🥰
Quite a departure from Big Electric Cat , in subject matter.
Clearly, he's a musical genius
COOL! i love king crimson
Lies again? UEFA SW MLS NFL TUSHY
The cello interlude in the middle of this song is simply brilliant...
My favorite part of the song. It’s also great timing for the lyrics to pick up again, and the singing and melody there are perfect.
this song never gets old
Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Faith is the evidence of things unseen and the substance of things hoped for.
If you’re listening to this song in 2023, you’re a legend!
Great song then and now
Yeah 2024
2024❤
This is one of those songs you have to listen to twice
mattman337 you mean 3 times in a row
twisted endever was gonna say, several times in a row 😉
You mean 4?
I just listened 7 in a row in 2024
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.
" Any atheists on here love this song? "
Absolutely. I always loved the melody and the vocal harmonies. What a soothing voice that guy has. I wish you to have the same good times you had before losing your mom.
Their song All My Tears is just as good. I'm not big on religion but do enjoy spiritually lifting music.
Thank you Monte, I'll listen to the title All My Tears.
I am an Atheist and I like Jars Of Clay.
sooner my bro.
Who’s Listening in 2020 In The Time Of Corona...Lift Me Up 🙏
Always
@@pauljohnson4786 right here right know Brother
Issam Rahal i am listening too :)
GOD BLESS YOU !
I was reading in my devotional (2 Corinthians 4:7) about 'Jars of Clay,' which prompted me to listen to this song.
I recently watched a movie called "Hard Rain" with Christian Slater and Morgan Freeman. They play this at the very end of the movie. Very fitting for it. Brought back memories of a life I used to live. Thank God he got me out of the flood and he still continuing to. I'm not perfect but God is always there to help me.
I was in the FLOOD. But now I'm CLEAN and DRY!!! Much love, Robert Duggan ⛪️ ❤️
This song helps me through hard times even when I was a kid. God bless them🙏

Jars of Clay canción "Flood", de su álbum debut, fue utilizada como tema de A & E documental de 2006 Dios o la chica, que seguía la vida de cuatro jóvenes de decidir si convertirse en sacerdotes católicos
I remember when this was one of the first/only Christian band songs that had a regular rotation on MTV.
Gosh, I'm old.
Song is still great, though.
Heard this at the grocery store today and was taken back to a great time in my life.
The acoustic groove in this song is soooooo good.
Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom and God inhabits the praises of His people...Blessings to all who have found salvation through Christ Jesus 🙏❤
When you combine a respectable group of talented musicians with insightful verses in song, you gotta know it will stand the test of time for all generations.
This song is still a song I listen to in 2024. I'm wondering what do all of you think about this song?
Definitely one of the best songs ever and underrated.
we lifted ourselves up as that was how we were raised.
Classic song! Lord we praise you always, in the storm and in the calm.
Most Christian rock disgusts me on a purely artistic level but this does Christianity justice in my humble opinion. It appeals to me in the way traditional Christian music does highlighting the yearning for God over the self satisfaction of someone who thinks themselves holier than thou.
Been pulled out of the drowning water too many times. Thanks to Lord Jesus.
I love this song! And I'm an Athiest. It's just so well written.
Used to listen to this when i was 16, im 44 now and its still making me feel.
I'm no longer Catholic as I was raised, but I still like JoC. Thanks to all Christians who are accepting of other faiths or lack thereof and still help them.
I love you all!
Reebokanonymous You know Catholicism isn't Christian right??
Catholicism worships the pope, although that is forbidden in Christianity, and they pray to saints and to Mary, which is false.
There you go
Reebokanonymous. Ugh, please take the time to learn your Catholic faith and not listen to these ppl on here trying to explain something to u they obviously know nothing about, which u can tell by their ignorant comments to u!!!
@kevin willems Jesus is God in human form the living word.
the great message of the Bible is Christ, that he came to this earth to live a perfect sinless life to teach us about the truth and to die as the true Passover Lamb the Innocent sacrificial atonement for our sins verse the scriptures Boldy Proclaim believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved .
Please keep seeking the Truth. Ask the Spirit of Truth to guide you into all truth. The Holy Spirit will show you the Catholic Church is the one true Church of Jesus and the only source of His full Gospel.
A girl I knew in high school gave me this single that also had Drummer Boy and I loved it. She was a really special person.
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 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.
Beautiful song that holds a much deeper meaning for many who have and still continue to listen to it. Man I miss the 90’s!
I haven’t heard this forever. They came to Colorado after this came out. My teenage daughter begged me to take her. It was in the Rocky Mountains and the place was packed. We had the best time. I wish they would tour again!
I can't believe how old this song is. I loved this song. Brings back so many memories.
This song makes me cry,,joyfully!
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.
The message of Redemption is there. Ok? Don't judge, lest you be judged.:Q: What is laying your life down for another?
Its a direct reference to the bible
This song was my road back back to faith after years of addiction. God is amazing!!
I was about 10 years old when my older sister would play this on her radio and I always loved it! I’m 36 now & It definitely means something completely different than it did when I was a kid! I love songs that are timeless like this one! Classic! ❤
One of my Favorite songs in life... the Lord works in mysterious ways... and I welcome this song like a athem
This song is awesome for the young Christians who think gospel songs are lame. This group and DC Talk, Skillet, etc
Fr
Anybody else not a practicing Christian but still love this song?
Doesn't matter the title for religion..all agree on the one true God and if you don't he still believes in you 🙌💖
Me

Such a versatile song, although i am glad it's underlying grasp is truly about walking with God. Stick with it everyone, you can do it. No matter what you're going through!
I became a lover of Jesus because after 50 years of making my own decisions, I was tired of failing and God gave me high intelligence believe it or not.
If the world proved Jesus never existed, I would still believe and love Him.
I am beyond faith, I know!! Thank you Jesus for the blessings every day you give.
I am nothing without you.
One of the best debut songs and albums of all time. Absolute classic.
Prayer is how he lifts us up!
I didn’t know this was a Christian group. Wowww as a saved Christian this is uplifting 🙌🏽lift me up God
I had no idea either, I remember the rock radio station playing it.
Not anymore they aren’t.
@@astronomy7911sadly you’re right. Pray for them.
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 love this music; so uplifting. I can imagine when Noah's ship began to lift into the waters of the world, leaving behind the whole world; what he and his family must've been feeling, as God was protecting them, to bring them to a new life, a new world....
+Michael Greenwell lol that didn't happen

ANOTHER GREAT CHRISTIAN ROCK PRAISE SONG !!!! PRAISE THE LORD NOW AND FOREVER!!!!!!
This song gets me through my roughest days.
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.
🌱🌳
let us rely on you and you alone Lord
I remember being 13 and hearing this song for the first time, still the most lyrically powerful song I’ve ever heard.
I thank God for this song
Amen! Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!! All glory to him! Hold me too Lord Jesus Christ! Amen! Keep me from drowning again!
One of my favorite Christian songs
