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

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 tr-y

Glori-a
Glory in the highest
Forever I will hide myself in Thee
Oh glori-a
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 pr-aise Y-ou
(Glori-a)
Glory in the highest
Forever I will hide myself in Thee
Oh glori-a
Glory in excelsis deo
Gloria, glori-a, glori-a o-h, o-oh
Glori-a, Glori-a
Ooo-ooo
Gloria
