Broken Cisterns

I need to repent to you again

I've been fashioning idols with my hands

I'm laying them down now on the fire

I've been playing the harlot in my heart

I'm keeping my Baals in the deepest parts

I'm burning them out now on the pyre

So receive my sacrifice

And revive my heart O Christ

Cause I'm sick of drinking pleasures that can never satisfy

And Jesus I confess

That the world's a wilderness

And all of my sins are broken cisterns

I'm thirsty for that spring

That could wash this sinner clean

So wash me again inside your river

So wash me again inside your river

I've been making your house a den of thieves

Been worshipping as your spirit grieves

I say as I sin more let grace abound

Well today is the day I'm coming clean

Brokenness is my offering

So stand me again Lord on solid ground

So receive my sacrifice

Revive my heart, oh Christ

Cause I'm sick of drinking pleasures that can never satisfy

Transform my mind I pray

Restore my song of praise

Cause I'm sick of seeking treasures that will only fade away

And Jesus I confess

That the world's a wilderness

And all of my sins are broken cisterns

I'm thirsty for that spring

That could wash this sinner clean

So wash me again inside your river

So wash me again inside your river

Create in me a clean heart

And renew by your spirit, a right spirit

And tear my hard places apart

I hear your word and I fear it, oh God I fear it

Create in me a clean heart

And renew by your spirit, a right spirit

And tear my hard places apart

I hear your word and I fear it, oh God I fear it

Jesus I confess

That the world's a wilderness

And all of my sins are broken cisterns

Oh, I'm thirsty for that spring

That could wash this sinner clean

So wash me again inside your river

And wash me again inside your river

Wash me again inside your river

Create in me a clean heart

And renew by your spirit, a right spirit

And tear my hard places apart

'Cause I hear your word and I fear it, oh God I fear it
