lyrics
I'm finding out my rest is not in what I thought and all of the walls I've built are never coming down. They're coming down. (x3)
And My people, have committed two evils. They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living streams.
And they hewed out, broken cisterns for themselves. Broken cisterns that can hold no water, hold no water
Oh God I pray, oh God I pray would you lead me, direct me, to more to more of You.
Oh God I pray, oh God I pray would you lead us, direct us, to more to more of You.
And My people, have committed two evils. They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living streams.
And they hewed out, broken cisterns for themselves. Broken cisterns that can hold no water, hold no water.
I wanna drown but not in pills, and my college education may not pay the bills. And even if it did, would it be worth it?(x2)
For our hearts and souls they bleed, and they long to be set free but our broken cisterns only leak black streams. (x2)
And My people, have committed two evils. They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living streams.
And they hewed out, broken cisterns for themselves. Broken cisterns that can hold no water, hold no water.
And My people, have committed two evils. They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living streams.
And they hewed out, broken cisterns for themselves. Broken cisterns that can hold no water, hold no water
Oh God I pray, oh God I pray would you lead me, direct me, to more to more of You.
Oh God I pray, oh God I pray would you lead us, direct us, to more to more of You.
And My people, have committed two evils. They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living streams.
And they hewed out, broken cisterns for themselves. Broken cisterns that can hold no water, hold no water.
I wanna drown but not in pills, and my college education may not pay the bills. And even if it did, would it be worth it?(x2)
For our hearts and souls they bleed, and they long to be set free but our broken cisterns only leak black streams. (x2)
And My people, have committed two evils. They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living streams.
And they hewed out, broken cisterns for themselves. Broken cisterns that can hold no water, hold no water.
