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

I hear your word and I fear it, O God I fear it
