25. Dig Down

1 Are you building today for eternity?
Dig down till you strike the rock;
Are you seeking a place of security?
Dig down till you strike the rock.

Refrain:
Dig down till you strike a sure foundation,
Dig down till you strike the rock,
Until you are free from condemnation,
And you can stand the tempest shock,
Dig down till you strike a sure foundation,
Dig down till you strike the rock,
Dig down till you strike the Rock of Ages and guild thereon.

2 Are you praying for cleansing from inbred sin?
Dig down till you strike the rock;
Never doubt, never fear, Christ will make you clean,
Dig down till you strike the rock. [Refrain]

3 Are you weary and needing your strength renewed?
Dig down till you strike the rock;
Wait on God and with pow’r you shall be endued,
Dig down till you strike the rock. [Refrain]
