Lyrics
Verse 1
Coming back to just me and You
Just a heart song singing out of tune
I remember the simplicity
Just to feel You here was everything
Pre-Chorus
Stunned by Your beauty
This is my offering
Chorus
Not for anything that I could gain
Just to honor You and bring You praise
Like a fragrance broken on the floor
May my worship be pure
There's no motive, there's no hidden catch
Here's my all and I don't want it back
Like a fragrance broken on the floor
May my worship be pure
Verse 2
Find me like a child again
Full of wonder, full of innocence
Before anything got in the way
Any dream or any accolade
Pre-Chorus
You make it easy
Easy to bring me
Chorus
Not for anything that I could gain
Just to honor You and bring You praise
Like a fragrance broken on the floor
May my worship be pure
There's no motive, there's no hidden catch
Here's my all and I don't want it back
Like a fragrance broken on the floor
May my worship be pure
Post-Chorus
Pure thanks, pure praise
Nothing in the way
My heart, my love
This is all You want
Spontaneous
This is all You want
This is all You want
Oh, Jesus, this is for You
Oh, Jesus, this is only for You
Bridge
And it's all about, all about You, all about You
And it's all about, all about You, all about You
And it's all about, all about You, all about You
And it's all about You, yeah
All about You, all about You
And it's all about, all about You, all about You
And it's all about, all about You, all about You
And it's all about You
Chorus
Not for anything that I could gain
Just to honor You and bring You praise
Like a fragrance broken on the floor
May my worship be pure
There's no motive, there's no hidden catch
Here's my all and I don't want it back
Like a fragrance broken on the floor
Let my worship be pure

Meaning & Inspiration
Pure is a prayer for worship stripped of personal advantage. The singer returns to the simplicity of being present with Jesus and asks that praise carry no hidden motive, reward, or demand. Childlike wonder and innocence are set against dreams and accolades that can obstruct devotion. By offering everything without asking for it back, the lyric presents worship as self-giving love directed entirely toward God.
The image of fragrance broken on the floor may recall Mary anointing Jesus in John 12, when costly perfume filled the house. That scene gives the songs repeated image a biblical setting of costly, focused devotion. Romans 12:1 also describes offering the whole self to God as true worship, while Psalm 51:17 emphasizes the inner offering of a broken and contrite heart. These connections suit the songs concern with purity of motive. Its repeated thanks, praise, heart, and love narrow the focus to an offering valued not for performance or gain, but for undivided devotion to Jesus.
