I wish I could crash like the waves

Or turn like the autumn leaves

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



Chorus:

But I’m such a limited creature

And my word 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



Repeat chorus



Gloria, glory in the highest

Forever I will hide myself in Thee (2x)



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
