Eli's Song

Gm7

O Eli, there's a sanctity in your innocence

F Gm7

A certain beauty and no uncertain strength

F

That brings me to the faith

Bb Gm7

I don't know if I, if I am climbing to or falling in

F Gm7

But it comes like grace from your tiny hands

F

When I hold you in mine

Chorus:

Bb

And I pray that the eyes of your heart

Fm7/Bb Eb

Shine bright with the hope to which you're called

Cm

And may you know with all the saints

Cm/Bb F

The height, the depth and 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 and leave me free to be a child

CHORUS

Bb Gm7

O Eli

F Gm7

Like the cowgirl ballerina leaves that ride

F Bb Eb F Bb

The wild and holy bucking wind to the sky
