Flood -- Lift Me Up -- Jars of Clay Cover

Been meaning to cover this song for about a year and a half. At one point in my life it really ministered to me, not as much anymore, but I still enjoy it. Makes me feel a little nostalgic.

Lyrics:

Rain, rain on my face
It hasnt stopped raining for days
My world is a flood
Slowly I become one with the mud

But if I cant swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the chrashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me up
Lift me up - when Im falling
Lift me up - Im weak and Im dying
Lift me up - I need you to hold me
Lift me up - keep me from drowning again

Downpour on my soul
Splashing in the ocean, Im losing control
Dark sky all around
I cant feel my feet touching the ground

Calm the storms that drench my eyes
Dry the streams still flowing
Cast down all the waves of sin
And guilt that overthrow me

IS THIS TUNING EABEBE???

[DrinianRzor]

@rwbrdms1 no its standard EADGBE

[majesticpony]

not bad at all. your guitar sounds rediculously nice.

[DrinianRzor]

Thank you :)

Its an Epiphone Rosewood Dreadnought Masterbilt. I bought it for the acoustic sound, the pickup I added after I bought it isn't the highest quality, but un-amplified it has more volume and resonance than some guitars twice its value.
