Broken Cisterns Songtext

von Attalus

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 O 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

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, O God I fear it
