"Gloria" Lyrics U2

"Gloria" Lyrics U2
Gloria was the lead track from U2's Boy album and is the most popular song from it. Gloria featured heavily in U2's set list during the 1980s.

Gloria's lyrics feature three distinct references to passages from The Bible. "Gloria in te Domine / Gloria exultate" translates to "Glory in you, Lord / Glory, exalt [him]" with "exalt" in the imperative mood, a reference to Psalm 30:2 (in te Domine, speravi). The song also contains references to Colossians 2:9-10 ("Only in You I'm complete") and James 5:7-9 ("The door is open / You're standing there").

Gloria Lyrics:

I try to sing this song loud
I try to stand up
But I can't find my feet
I try, I try to speak up
But only in you I'm complete

Gloria, in te domine
Gloria, exultate
Gloria, Gloria
Oh Lord, loosen my lips

I try to sing this song loud
I try to get in
But I can't find the door
The door is open
You're standing there
You let me in

Gloria, in te domine
Gloria, exultate
Oh Lord, if I had anything
Anything at all
I'd give it to you
I'd give it to you

Gloria
In te domine
Gloria
Gloria
