1
Spring up, well, with water;
Dig Thou, Lord, completely;
Dig away all barriers
That Thy stream flow through me.
2
Christ, the Rock, is riven;
Living water’s flowing;
But within my heart now
It is blocked from going.
3
I will dig by praying,
Dig the dirt entirely,
Thus release the Spirit,
Let the stream flow freely.
4
Pray, yet still more praying,
Dig, yet still more digging,
Till there’s thorough digging
And effectual praying.
5
There’s no need again that
Christ, the Rock, be riven,
But unto the digging
That I should be given.
6
He on me descending’s
Just outpouring giving;
Only His indwelling’s
Fount of life o’erflowing.
7
What I need most deeply
Is the Spirit’s filling,
That the living water
From my heart be welling.
8
Dig till there is nothing
Left to block the passage;
Dig until the stream flows
With the living message.
9
Spring up, well, with water;
Dig Thou, Lord, completely;
Dig away all barriers
That Thy stream flow through me.
