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