Lyrics
Pure Heart, Clear Vision
Verse 1
In a world of shifting shadows, where the lines are often blurred,
We’ll choose a path of purity, by Your Holy Word.
Like a lamp unto our feet, a light unto our path,
In the way of chastity, we’ll find our truest worth.
Chorus
Chastity, a call to holiness, a heart undivided,
In the purity of Your love, our lives are guided.
Not as a chain, but as wings to soar,
In the freedom of Your grace, we find more.
Verse 2
Like Joseph in the palace, like Daniel in the land,
We’ll stand firm in Your promises, by Your strength, we’ll stand.
In a culture of the fleeting, we’ll seek the eternal,
In the beauty of chastity, Your love is our journal.
Chorus
Chastity, a call to holiness, a heart undivided,
In the purity of Your love, our lives are guided.
Not as a chain, but as wings to soar,
In the freedom of Your grace, we find more.
Bridge
Let this chastity be not just what we do, but who we are,
A reflection of Your holiness, a shining, guiding star.
In every thought, in every deed, in the love we give and receive,
Let the purity of our hearts, Your grace achieve.
Chorus
Chastity, a call to holiness, a heart undivided,
In the purity of Your love, our lives are guided.
Not as a chain, but as wings to soar,
In the freedom of Your grace, we find more.
Outro
So we’ll walk in this chastity, a journey of the heart,
In the purity of Your love, we’ll play our part.
Every step we take, let it be in chastity’s wake,
For in the pure heart, clear vision, Your beauty we partake.
