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
