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

I hear your word and I fear it, O God I fear it
[Chorus]
A# D# A# F
And Jesus I confess that the world’s a wilderness
Gm F D# F Gm A#
And all of my sins are broken cisterns

I’m thirsty for that spring that can wash this sinner clean

So wash me again inside your river
