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

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 oh

Gloria
