Spring up, well, with water

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.
