I need to repent to you again

I’ve been fashioning idols with my hands

I’m burning them out now on the pyre
[PreChorus]

So receive my sacrifice and revive my heart O Christ

And Jesus I confess that the world’s a wilderness
Fm D# C# D# Fm G#
And all of my sins are broken cisterns

So wash me again inside your river
