Spring up, well, with water;

Spring up, well, with water;

Dig Thou, Lord, completely;

Dig away all barriers

That Thy stream flow through me.

Christ, the Rock, is riven;

Living water's flowing;

But within my heart now

It is blocked from going.

I will dig by praying,

Dig the dirt entirely,

Thus release the Spirit,

Let the stream flow freely.

There's no need again that

Christ, the Rock, be riven,

But unto the digging

That I should be given.

What I need most deeply

Is the Spirit's filling,

That the living water

From my heart be welling.

Dig till there is nothing

Left to block the passage;

Dig until the stream flows

With the living message.

Spring up, well, with water;

Dig Thou, Lord, completely;

Dig away all barriers

That Thy stream flow through me.
