C                           Am7
O Eli, there's a sanctity in your innocence
                        G          Am7
A certain beauty and no uncertain strength
      G
That brings me to the faith
                C                          Am7
I don't know if I, if I am climbing to or falling in
                                  G     Am7
But it comes like grace from your tiny hands
        G
When I hold you in mine
 
 
[Chorus]
                                  C
And I pray that the eyes of your heart
      Gm7/C                                F
Shine bright with the hope to which you're called
             Dm
And may you know with all the saints
                Dm/C                                              G
The height, the depth and the width and the length of the love of God
 
 
[Verse]
   C                               Am7
O Eli, There's a joy in your sweet abandon
                           G           Am7
Like the cowgirl ballerina leaves that ride
     G                                  C
The wild and holy bucking wind that the sky
                                     Am7
Sent through you to blow away these walls I've built
                          G        Am7                G
Walls of selfishness and walls of guilt and leave me free to be a child
 
 
[Chorus]
                                  C
And I pray that the eyes of your heart
      Gm7/C                                F
Shine bright with the hope to which you're called
             Dm
And may you know with all the saints
                Dm/C                                              G
The height, the depth and the width and the length of the love of God
   C  Am7                              G          Am7
O Eli,      Like the cowgirl ballerina leaves that ride
             G                         C  F  G C
The wild and holy bucking wind to the sky
