G   D  C
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
        G                C
Were creation suddenly articulate
       G                           C
With a thousand tongues to lift one cry
          G                 C
Then from north to south and east to west
           D
We'd hear 'Christ be magnified!'

G   D  C
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
         G                      C
Were the whole earth echoing His eminence
    G                             C
His name would burst from sea and sky
     G             C
From rivers to the mountain tops
           D                 G
We'd hear 'Christ be magnified!'

[Verse 3]
 
           G                           C
When every creature finds its inmost melody
          G                      C
And every human heart its native cry
          G              C
O then in one enraptured hymn of praise
            D               C
We'll sing 'Christ be magnified!'
             C
O be lifted high, Jesus

O! Christ be magnified!
                 D    Em
From the altar of my life
          D     C      D
Christ be magnified in me

[Bridge]
 
C
I won't bow to idols
           D
I'll stand strong and worship You
          Em
And if it puts me in the fire
        G
I'll rejoice 'cause You're there too
   C
I won't be formed by feelings
        D
I hold fast to what is true
         Em
If the cross brings transformation
               G
Then I'll be crucified with You
        C
'Cause death is just the doorway
      D
Into resurrection life
         Em
And if I join You in Your suffering
          G
Then I'll join You when You rise
         C
And when You return in glory
             D
With all the angels and the saints
   Em
My heart will still be singing
       D
And my song will be the same

Christ be magnified in me
G                   C
O! Christ be magnified!

From the altar of my life
          D     C      D
Christ be magnified in me

Christ be magnified in me
G                  Em
O! Christ be magnified!
                     G
From the altar of my life
          D    C        D    G
Christ be magnified in me
