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.
