Lyrics
Oh Eli
There's a sanctity in your innocence
A certain beauty and a 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
Oh 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
And 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
Oh Eli
Like the cowgirl ballerina leaves that ride
The wild and holy bucking wind
To the sky
