"Flood" is a song written and performed by American Christian rock band Jars of Clay. Critics cited "Flood" as the band's breakthrough song due to airplay on contemporary Christian music and alternative rock radio stations, two radio formats which rarely intersect. It was released in early 1996 as their debut single and is from 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. The song also saw heavy rotation on MTV during the mid-to-late-1990s.
