G
Wish I could crash like the waves
   Am
Or turn like the autumn leaves
C/B C             D
     In effort to praise You
C               D
   In effort to praise You

[Verse 2]
             G
Wish I could smell like the forest
    Am
The fragrance lifting a mighty chorus
C/B C             D
     In effort to praise You
    C             D
     In effort to praise You

[Pre-chorus]
D                  G
But I'm such a limited creature
       D                        G
And my words can only paint so many pictures
        D                     C
And somewhere I think I read that I am
C
Treasured over all creation
A#                      D
   So I know that I must try

[Chorus]
A    A D         A
Gloria, Glory in the highest
   D           A      C       E
Forever I will hide myself in Thee
    A    A  D           A
Oh, Gloria,     Glory in the highest
   D          A       C       E
Forever I will hide myself in Thee
      A             A
Every breath that I breath
      D             A
Every moment in my history
D                 A
   Is an effort to praise You
C                E
   An effort to praise You

[Verse 3]
             G
Wish I could roll like the thunder
    Am
To leave the earth below in wonder
C/B C             D
     In effort to praise You
    C             D
     In effort to praise You

[Verse 4]
             G
Wish I could fall like the summer rain
    Am
And every drop would sing Your name
C/B C             D
     In effort to praise You
    C             D
     In effort to praise You

[Pre-chorus]
D                  G
But I'm such a limited creature
       D                        G
And my words can only paint so many pictures
        D                     C
And somewhere I think I read that I am
C
Treasured over all creation
A#                      D
   So I know that I must try

[Chorus]
A    A D         A
Gloria, Glory in the highest
   D           A      C       E
Forever I will hide myself in Thee
    A    A  D           A
Oh, Gloria,     Glory in the highest
   D          A       C       E
Forever I will hide myself in Thee
      A             A
Every breath that I breath
      D             A
Every moment in my history
D                 A
   Is an effort to praise You
C                E
   An effort to praise You

[Bridge]
D                  G
But I'm such a limited creature
       D                        G
And my words can only paint so many pictures
        D                     C
And somewhere I'm sure I read that I am
C
Treasured over all creation
A#                      D D        E E
   So I know that I must try.  I must try.

[Chorus]
A    A D         A
Gloria, Glory in the highest
   D           A      C       E
Forever I will hide myself in Thee

Forever I will hide myself in Thee

Every breath that I breath

Every moment in my history
D                 A
   Is an effort to praise You
C                E
   An effort to praise You
