"Flood" is a song written and performed by Jars of Clay. It is considered to be their breakthrough song due to airplay on contemporary Christian music and alternative rock radio stations, two radio formats which rarely interact with one another. 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 200 for an entire 52-week (one-year) cycle. The album went gold and, shortly after, attained platinum status. The debut album has now sold well over 2,000,000 copies.
The single 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.
All songs written by Charlie Lowell, Dan Haseltine, Matt Odmark, & Stephen Mason.
The song plays over the closing credits of the 1998 film Hard Rain and is used in the 2002 film A Walk to Remember. It was the theme song of the A&E reality show, God or the Girl.
