Watermark 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.
