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