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 mountain tops
We'd hear Christ be magnified

Chorus

Oh Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
Oh 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
Oh then in one enraptured
Hymn of praise
We'll sing Christ be magnified

Vamp

Oh be lifted high

Chorus

Oh Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
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
And if it puts me in the fire
I'll rejoice 'cause You're there too

Bridge 2

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 3

'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

Bridge 4

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

Oh Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
Oh Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me
