Lyrics
Dig That Ditch
Marvin Floyd
:06. chorus. Gonna dig that ditch, just a little deeper, dig it deep and wide
"" "" "" "" "" "" "" """ cause Jesus is by my side
Yeah dig that ditch, dig a little deeper, getting ready for the rain
Dig that ditch, gonna dig way deep, cause Jesus, He's my friend
:30 verse. So, here comes the rain, the kinda rain that gives you life
Get ready.., life gives you grace, thru grief and sometimes strife
Get ready for more, than you can handle, soon, it'll all be yours
And you'll be, over flowing with it , it's all gonna be yours
:54. tag. Even If there's no sign of rain, You gotta have faith and believe
And no clouds in the sky, you gotta have faith and believe
1:06 chorus
1:30 verse
1:54 tag
2:06 end. Dig that ditch, dig a little deeper, dig it deep and wide
Did that ditch, dig a little deeper, I got Jesus, He's on my side
