🎶 Lyric Sheet: Keep Your Heart Pure

(Singable, printable, and perfect for devotion time)

Verse 1
When the world feels loud and wrong,
And the path is hard and long,
Let your heart stay clean and true,
Let His light keep shining through.

🎵 Chorus (your original)
Keep your heart pure, keep your life right,
So Jesus will shine through you.
Keep your eyes upon the Lord,
One great day you'll have reward.
Keep your steps within His Way,
Be pure in all you do and say.
So Jesus will bless you when you pray.

Verse 2
When your friends all turn away,
And you’re tempted not to pray,
Stand for truth, don’t be afraid—
God delights in us when we obey.

Bridge
Purity is more than clean—
It’s living within God's grace, not mean.
It’s choosing love when hate feels strong,
It’s singing hope when things go wrong.

Final Chorus (repeat)
Keep your heart pure, keep your life right… (etc.)

 Hands-on craft activity built around Psalm 51:10 (KJV):
“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.”

✂️ Craft Title: “Stained-Glass Heart of Purity”

🧡 Objective:

Help children reflect on the meaning of purity and renewal by creating a stained-glass-style heart with Psalm 51:10 at the center.

---

🧰 Materials:

• Tissue paper in soft colors (light blue, green, pink, yellow)
• Clear contact paper or wax paper
• Black construction paper (for heart frame)
• Scissors, glue sticks, markers
• Printable verse strip: Psalm 51:10 (KJV)
• Optional: glitter glue, stickers, small cross cutouts

---

🪞 Instructions:

1. Create the Heart Frame:
   Cut a large heart shape out of black construction paper. Then cut out the center, leaving a thick border—like a heart-shaped window.

2. Prepare the “Glass”:
   Cut small squares of tissue paper. Stick them randomly onto a piece of contact paper or wax paper to create a stained-glass effect.

3. Assemble the Window:
   Place the heart frame over the tissue paper collage and glue it down. Trim the edges so the tissue fits neatly inside the heart.

4. Add the Verse:
   Write or glue a printed strip of Psalm 51:10 across the center or bottom of the heart. Use decorative lettering or stickers to highlight key words like “clean heart” and “right spirit.”

5. Decorate with Meaning:
   Around the heart, glue small cutouts or write words that reflect purity:

   • Truth
   • Kindness
   • Obedience
   • Faith
   • Forgiveness

6. Display or Gift:
   Hang the finished craft in a window so the light shines through, or give it as a gift to someone who needs encouragement.

---

🧠 Teaching Tie-In:

As children build their stained-glass hearts, talk about how God shines through a clean heart—just like light through a window. Discuss how purity isn’t about being perfect, but about being honest, humble, and open to God’s Spirit.

---

Psalm 51:10 (KJV):

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.”

• A decorated envelope labeled “My Pure Heart Prayers”
• Pastel-colored hearts spilling out, each with a short purity-themed prayer like:
  • “I will speak kindly today”
  • “I will keep my thoughts clean”
  • “Create a clean heart for me, O God” — Psalm 51:10

This visual is perfect for guiding children through a hands-on reflection activity. 

✂️ Craft Activity: “Heart Purity Pockets”

Objective: Help children reflect on what it means to keep their hearts pure by creating a pocket full of purity prayers and promises.

Materials:

• Printable heart shapes (or cut from construction paper)

• Small envelopes or folded paper pockets

• Markers, stickers, glue

• Strips of paper with purity-themed verses or fill-in-the-blank prayers

• Optional: glitter glue or white feathers to symbolize purity

Instructions:

1. Decorate the Pocket: Let each child decorate their envelope or folded paper pocket with the title “My Pure Heart Prayers.”

2. Fill the Heart: Give each child 3–5 heart shapes. On each heart, they write a short prayer or promise like:

   • “I will speak kindly today.”

   • “I will forgive even when it’s hard.”

   • “I will keep my thoughts clean.”

3. Add Scripture Strips: Include verses like Psalm 51:10, Matthew 5:8, or Philippians 4:8.

4. Reflection Time: Invite children to pull one heart from their pocket each day and pray it aloud.
