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