Verse 1

Were creation suddenly articulate
With a thousand tongues
To lift one cry
Then 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

Oh Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me

Chorus 2

Oh Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me

When ev’ry creature
Finds its inmost melody
And ev’ry human heart
Its native cry
Oh then in one enraptured
Hymn of praise
We’ll sing Christ be magnified

Chorus 1

Oh Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me

Chorus 2

Oh Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me

Bridge 1

I won’t bow to idols
I’ll stand strong and worship You
If it puts me in the fire
I’ll rejoice
Cause You’re there too
I won’t be formed by feelings
I hold fast to what is true
If the cross brings transformation
Then I’ll be crucified with You

Bridge 2

’Cause death is just the doorway
Into resurrection life
If I join You in Your suff’rings
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

Chorus 1

Oh Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me

Chorus 2

Oh Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me

Chorus 1

Oh Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me

Chorus 2

Oh Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me

Verse 1

Were creation suddenly articulate
With a thousand tongues
To lift one cry

And east to west
We’d hear Christ be magnified
