Gloria

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.
