If only...

I wish I could crash like the waves
Or turn like the Autumn leaves
In an effort to praise You.

I wish I could smell like the forest.
The fragrance lifting a mighty chorus
In an effort to praise You.
In an 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 an effort to praise You.

I wish I could fall like the summer rain
and every drop would sing Your Name
In an effort to praise You.
In an 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 that I know that I must try

I must try.

Gloria.
Glory in the highest.
Forever I will hide myself in Thee.
O, 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
O, Gloria!
Glory in excelsis deo.
Gloria. Gloria. Gloria.
