Artist: Choir of Afrika Track Title: Purity Duration: 3 Minutes 18 Seconds Date of Release: 22 March, 2026
Choir of Afrika did something very quiet but deep with Purity. This song feels like when you are alone and you suddenly remember something you did that was not right, and it touches your heart. This afro gospel song is like a small prayer. It is not loud. It is not trying to impress. It is just asking God, “Please clean my heart.” Not just what people can see, but the hidden thoughts, the little lies, the wrong habits nobody knows about.
As the voices sing together, it feels soft but serious. Like someone sitting close to God and speaking honestly. It reminds you that purity is not about acting good in front of people. It is about being real with God, even when it is hard. While listening, you may become quiet. You may start thinking about your own life in a simple way. And from there, your heart may begin to talk to God in your own words.
[Intro]
Purity!
(purity, purity)
Holiness!
(holy, holy)
I’ve been washed
(aye)
By the blood so I’m walking clean
(hallelujah)
[Verse 1]
Used to chase that hype on the back street
(back street, back street)
Dark eyes, cold heart, moving half-steep
(half-steep, kai)
Thought I run this world with my mind sharp
(mind sharp, mind sharp)
But my soul stayed chained in a tight lock
(chain, chain)
Then the Word came down like a thunder
(thunder, thunder)
Broke shame, broke pride, broke every yoke under
(yoke under)
Now I’m set apart, I’m a vessel
(vessel, vessel)
Can’t mix light with the dark, I don’t wrestle
(no wrestle, no)
[Chorus]
Purity, I choose purity
(purity, purity)
Hands up high, King be ruling me
(rule in me, rule)
Turned from the road that was killing me
(turn around, turn around)
Now I walk that narrow way faithfully
(yeah, faithfully)
I said purity, I want purity
(holy life, holy life)
Heart made clean by His mercy
(mercy, mercy)
Washed in the Word, that’s my therapy
(that Word, that Word)
Holy, holy, that’s my energy
(holy, holy)
[Verse 2]
See the flesh wanna drag me to old things
(old things, old things)
But the cross still speaks, that’s a bold ring
(bold ring, hmm)
Romans eight on my chest like armour
(armour, armour)
Spirit lead, now I step with honour
(step clean, step clean)
If your right hand lead you to stumble
(stumble, stumble)
Cut it off, better live than crumble
(live long, live long)
Eyes up, I’m seeking His kingdom
(kingdom come)
Can’t bow to that sin, that’s prison
(prison, prison)
[Chorus]
Purity, I choose purity
(purity, purity)
Hands up high, King be ruling me
(rule in me, rule)
Turned from the road that was killing me
(turn around, turn around)
Now I walk that narrow way faithfully
(yeah, faithfully)
I said purity, I want purity
(holy life, holy life)
Heart made clean by His mercy
(mercy, mercy)
Washed in the Word, that’s my therapy
(that Word, that Word)
Holy, holy, that’s my energy
(holy, holy)
[Bridge]
I don’t wanna taste that sin again
(no more, no more)
Old man dead, let the truth remain
(let it stay)
By His stripes I’m healed in my soul
(healed in my soul)
By His Spirit I’m in control
(in control)
Be ye holy, that’s the call now
(holy, holy)
Set apart, I can’t fall now
(stand firm, stand firm)
Though I trip, I repent, I rise
(rise up, rise up)
Grace lift me, I fix my eyes
(on Christ, on Christ)
[Chorus]
Purity, I choose purity
(purity, purity)
Hands up high, King be ruling me
(rule in me, rule)
Turned from the road that was killing me
(turn around, turn around)
Now I walk that narrow way faithfully
(yeah, faithfully)
I said purity, I want purity
(holy life, holy life)
Heart made clean by His mercy
(mercy, mercy)
Washed in the Word, that’s my therapy
(that Word, that Word)
Holy, holy, that’s my energy
(holy, holy)
[Outro]
Purity!
(purity, purity)
Holiness!
(holy, holy)
Set apart!
(set apart, set apart)
For the King of righteousness
(amen, amen)
