pure

Abbie Gamboa's song 'pure' is a heartfelt expression of worship and devotion, stripped of any ulterior motives or desires for personal gain. The lyrics convey a deep longing to return to a state of simplicity and purity in one's relationship with the divine. The song begins with a reflection on the past, where the connection felt simple and unencumbered by the complexities of life. The 'heart song singing out of tune' suggests a yearning to realign with a harmonious spiritual state.

The chorus emphasizes the selfless nature of the worshipper's offering. The imagery of a 'fragrance broken on the floor' evokes the biblical story of Mary of Bethany anointing Jesus' feet with expensive perfume, a symbol of pure, sacrificial worship. Gamboa's use of this metaphor underscores the desire for her worship to be as genuine and unreserved. The repeated assertion that there is 'no motive, no hidden catch' reinforces the theme of purity and the relinquishment of any worldly rewards or recognition.

The song culminates in a declaration that the worship is solely for the divine, with the repeated phrase 'all about You' driving home the point that true worship is focused entirely on the object of devotion, not on the self. Gamboa's lyrics invite listeners to consider the purity of their own intentions and to seek a more authentic and innocent approach to their spiritual practice, reminiscent of a child's unblemished perspective.
