Christ Be Magnified

Verse 1

Were creation suddenly articulate

With a thousand tongues to lift one cry

From north to south and east to west

We’d hear Christ be magnified

Verse 2

Were the whole earth echoing His eminence

His name would burst from sea and sky

From rivers to the mountaintops

We’d hear Christ be magnified

Chorus

O Christ be magnified

Let His praise arise

Christ be magnified in me

O Christ be magnified

From the altar of my life

Christ be magnified in me

Verse 3

When every creature finds its inmost melody

And every human heart its native cry

Then in one enraptured hymn of praise

We’ll sing Christ be magnified

Bridge

I won’t bow to idols

I’ll stand strong and worship You

If it puts me through the fire

I’ll rejoice cause You’re there too

I won’t be formed by feelings

I’ll hold fast to what is true

’Cause if the cross brings transformation

You can hang me there with You

’Cause death is just the doorway

Into resurrection life

And if I join You in Your suffering

Then I’ll join You when You rise

And when You return in glory

With all the angels and the saints

My heart will still be singing

My song will be the same
