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

And Jesus I confess that the world’s a wilderness
Dm C A# C Dm F
And all of my sins are broken cisterns
