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  There's no need again that

    Christ, the Rock, be riven,

    But unto the digging

    That I should be given.

 5  What I need most deeply

    Is the Spirit's filling,

    That the living water

    From my heart be welling.

 6  Dig till there is nothing

    Left to block the passage;

    Dig until the stream flows

    With the living message.

 7  Spring up, well, with water;

    Dig Thou, Lord, completely;

    Dig away all barriers

    That Thy stream flow through me.
