I wish I could crash like the waves and turn like the autumn breeze

In effort to praise You

I wish I could smell like the forest, the fragrance lifting a mighty chorus

In effort to praise You

In effort to praise You

But I'm such a limited creature

And my words can only paint so many pictures

But somewhere I think I read that I am treasured over all creation

So I know that I must try



I wish I could roll like the thunder, to leave the earth below in wonder

In effort to praise You

I wish I could fall like the summer rain and every drop would sing Your name

In effort to praise You

In effort to praise You

But I'm such a limited creature

And my words can only paint so many pictures

But somewhere I'm sure I read that I am treasured over all creation

So I know that I must try



Gloria, glory in the highest

Forever I will hide myself in Thee

Oh, gloria

Glory in the highest

Forever I will hide myself in Thee



Every breath that I breathe, every moment in my history

Is an effort to praise You

An effort to praise You



Glory in the highest

Forever I will hide myself in Thee

Oh, Gloria

Glory in excelsis Deo

Gloria, Gloria, Gloria

Gloria, Gloria, Gloria
