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
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
(Here we go now, sing out!)
And oh! Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
And oh! Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me
(That's our friend, Jesus!)
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
(Yes this is what we're made to do right here)
(We give you praise Jesus! Come on)
And oh! Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
And oh! Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me
I wanna be holy
I wanna be sanctified, Jesus
Burn in me Jesus
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
I won't be formed by feelings, I hold fast to what is true
And if the cross brings transformation then I'll be crucified 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 (Let's sing it again, I won't bow)
No I won't bow to idols, I'll stand strong and worship You
And if it puts me in the fire, well I'll rejoice 'cause You're there too
I won't be formed by feelings, I hold fast to what is true
And if the cross brings transformation then I'll be crucified 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
And oh! Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
And oh! Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me (Let's sing one more time!)
And oh! Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
And oh! Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me
Come on, give Him praise! Hallelujah
