Broken Cisterns

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

I’ve been making your house a den of thieves
