BROKEN CISTERNS

 C                       F
1. All I’ve got was broken cisterns
G                          C
Wasted years and silent pains
    Am            F                Dm			G7
Never did I realized that I have committed two evils
C		      Am        D      		G
By forsaking You and hewed out for myself
		Em	    Am-F
A well of my own pleasure
	    G             C		G
But a fleeting enjoyment

Chorus: 

  C	Am		  D           G
Broken cisterns that hold no water
				        C		Am          D		G
(All kinds of) Our human labor that ends to nothing
 C	   Am 	      D  	 		G
(We need the) Living water to empty heart doth fill
    E  			   Am-F
Flow out through me again,
      G		   C.
Quench all my thirst within.

2. Wellhead of human achievement
Drunk by wine of my (man’s) career
Tearing down my barns of old that
I may replace with one larger
I’ve forsaken You and hewed out for myself
A well of my ambition
Momentary convenience! 

3. Blinded with my old religion
Knowing God to that domain
Duty to ancient tradition
I served to please God by all means
But forsaken You and hewed out for myself
A well of my own method
Left me dry, empty within!

4. Now I know that You’re within me
As the Spirit flowing freely
From the inmost part of my being
You’re gushing up eternally
Just by calling You
Lord Jesus, You’re so rich
Never will I forsake You
You’re my all, my everything.
