Lord, Dig Me Some Ears! — The Old Coal Miner's Prayer
A powerful Appalachian country gospel ballad infused with deep Southern gospel vocals, haunting harmonica, weeping steel guitar, bluegrass banjo, and New Orleans jazz-blues.
After forty years of blasting coal from the mountains, an old miner loses his hearing. Alone in his little mountain shack, he discovers the extraordinary Hebrew words of Psalm 40:6: “Ears You have dug for me.”
His prayer changes. More than hearing the world again, he longs to hear God's voice, understand the Father's heart, and walk in His ways.
Then his Bible opens to Mark 7. Jesus' Aramaic command, “Ephphatha,” is whispered into the silence—followed by a thunderous “BE OPENED!”
The music erupts into a jubilant gospel celebration as the miner discovers the healing compassion of Jesus.
A joyful testimony of faith, obedience, healing, and the Father's love.
Scripture: Psalm 40:6–8; Psalm 51:10; Mark 7:31–37.
