I wish i could crash like the waves;
turn like the autumn leaves
in effort to praise you.
i wish i could smell like the forest;
the fragrence 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.
i must try.
Chorus:
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.
