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 try Gloria, glory in the highest Forever I will hide myself in Thee 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 Gloria, glory in the highest Forever I will hide myself in Thee Oh, Gloria Glory in Excelsis Deo Gloria, Gloria Gloria Gloria, Gloria, Gloria
