Elis Song lyrics

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
