Broken Cisterns
Attalus
Gospel Hymns Vol. 1
[Verse 1]
F#m C#m
I need to repent to you again
F#m C#m
I’ve been fashioning idols with my hands
Bm C#
I’m laying them down now on the fire
F#m C#m
I’ve been playing the harlot in my heart
F#m C#m
I’m keeping my Baals in the deepest parts
Bm C#
I’m burning them out now on the pyre
[PreChorus]
Bm F#m Bm F#m
So receive my sacrifice and revive my heart O Christ
Bm C#m D F#m E
Cause I’m sick of drinking pleasures that can never satisfy
[Chorus]
A D A E
And Jesus I confess that the world’s a wilderness
F#m E D E F#m A
And all of my sins are broken cisterns
A D A E
I’m thirsty for that spring that can wash this sinner clean
F#m E D E F#m A
So wash me again inside your river
F#m E F#m
So wash me again inside your river
[Interlude]
F#m C#m F#m C#m Bm C#
[Verse 2]
F#m C#m
I’ve been making your house a den of thieves
F#m C#m
Been worshiping as your spirit grieves
Bm C#
I say as I sin more let grace abound
F#m C#m
Well today is the day I’m coming clean
F#m C#m
Brokenness is my offering
Bm C#
So stand me again Lord on solid ground
[PreChorus 2]
Bm F#m Bm F#m
So receive my sacrifice and revive my heart O Christ
Bm C#m D F#m E
Cause I’m sick of drinking pleasures that can never satisfy
Bm F#m Bm F#m
Transform my mind I pray restore my song of praise
Bm C#m D F#m E
Cause I’m sick of seeking treasures that can only fade away
[Chorus]
A D A E
And Jesus I confess that the world’s a wilderness
F#m E D E F#m A
And all of my sins are broken cisterns
A D A E
I’m thirsty for that spring that can wash this sinner clean
F#m E D E F#m A
So wash me again inside your river
F#m E D E F#m A
So wash me again inside your river
[Bridge] x2
A E/G#
Create in me a clean heart
F#m D
And renew by your spirit, a right spirit
A E/G#
And tear my hard places apart
F#m D
I hear your word and I fear it, O God I fear it
[Chorus]
A D A E
And Jesus I confess that the world’s a wilderness
F#m E D E F#m A
And all of my sins are broken cisterns
A D A E
I’m thirsty for that spring that can wash this sinner clean
F#m E D E F#m A
So wash me again inside your river
F#m E D E F#m A
So wash me again inside your river
F#m E D
So wash me again inside your river
[Bridge] x2
