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 Chorus: But I'm such a limited creature And my word 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 Repeat chorus Gloria, glory in the highest Forever I will hide myself in Thee (2x) 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, gloria
