Broken Cisterns
Attalus
Gospel Hymns Vol. 1
[Verse 1]
Em Bm
I need to repent to you again
Em Bm
I’ve been fashioning idols with my hands
Am B
I’m laying them down now on the fire
Em Bm
I’ve been playing the harlot in my heart
Em Bm
I’m keeping my Baals in the deepest parts
Am B
I’m burning them out now on the pyre
[PreChorus]
Am Em Am Em
So receive my sacrifice and revive my heart O Christ
Am Bm C Em D
Cause I’m sick of drinking pleasures that can never satisfy
[Chorus]
G C G D
And Jesus I confess that the world’s a wilderness
Em D C D Em G
And all of my sins are broken cisterns
G C G D
I’m thirsty for that spring that can wash this sinner clean
Em D C D Em G
So wash me again inside your river
Em D Em
So wash me again inside your river
[Interlude]
Em Bm Em Bm Am B

I’ve been making your house a den of thieves
Em Bm
Been worshiping as your spirit grieves

Em Bm
Well today is the day I’m coming clean
Em Bm
Brokenness is my offering
Am B
So stand me again Lord on solid ground
[PreChorus 2]

So receive my sacrifice and revive my heart O Christ
