Song by Jars of Clay
"Flood" is a song written and performed by American
Christian rock band
Jars of Clay. It is considered[
by whom?] to be their breakthrough song due to airplay on
contemporary Christian music and
alternative rock radio stations, two radio formats which rarely intersect.
[3] It was released in 1995 on their
self-titled debut album. "Flood" was a multi-format crossover hit in the United States, peaking at
No. 12 on the
Billboard
Modern Rock Tracks chart and No. 37 on the
Billboard Hot 100. It was also a hit in Canada, where it reached No. 3 on the
RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart.
