Christ Be Magnified

A E D2 A E D2

VERSE 1
       A                     D2
Were creation suddenly articulate

With a thousand tongues to life one cry

Then from the north to south and east to west

We's 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

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

A E D2


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

CHORUS

D2 E F#m7 A C#

BRIDGE
D2
I won't bow to idols
           E
I'll stand strong and worship You
     F#m7
If it puts me in the fire
      A/C#
I'll rejoice 'cause You're there too
  D2
I won't be formed by feelings
       E
I hold fast to what is true
       F#m7
If the cross brings transformation
              A/C#
Then I'll be crucified with You
      D2
Cause death is just the doorway
     E
Into resurrection life
    F#m7
If I join You in your sufferings 
          A/C#
Then I'll join You when You rise
         D2
And when You return in glory
             E
With all the angels and the saints
   F#m7
My heart will still be singing
        E
And my song will ne the same
