Eli's Song Lyrics - Mullins Rich

Rich Mullins, Lee Lundgren, and Nicole Lundgren 

Psalm 139:7-10, Acts 17:26-27, Ephesians 3:17-19 

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 to the sky
