"Flood" is a song written and performed by Jars of Clay. It is considered by most fans of the band to be their "breakthrough" song, with sudden success coming in both the contemporary Christian music and alternative rock genres. It was released in 1995 on their self-titled debut album. The album remained in the top 60 albums for much of the year and remained in Billboard's Top 200 albums for the entire 52 week cycle. The album went 'gold' and shortly after attained platinum status. The debut album has now sold well over 2,000,000 copies.
