														   O Eli 

There's a sanctity
in your innocence 

A certain beauty and no
uncertain strength 

That brings me to the
faith 

I don't know if I 

If I am
climbing to or falling in 

But it comes
like grace from your tiny hands 

When I
hold you in mine 

And I pray that the eyes


Of your heart 

Shine bright 

With the hope to which you're called 

And may you know with all the saints 

The height, the depth, the width, and the
length 

Of the love of God 

O Eli 

There's a joy in your sweet abandon 

Like
the cowgirl ballerina 

Leaves that ride 

The wild and holy bucking wind that the sky


Sent through you to blow away these walls
I've built 

Walls of selfishness and walls
of guilt 

That leave me free to be a child




And I pray that the eyes 

Of
your heart 

Shine bright 

With the
hope to which you're called 

And may you
know with all the saints 

The height, the
depth, the width, and the length 

Of the
love of God 

O Eli 

There's a joy in
your sweet abandon 

Like the cowgirl
ballerina 

Leaves that ride 

The wild
and holy bucking wind that the sky
