Verse 1:
        F                   A#2
Were creation suddenly articulate
       F                          A#2
With a thousand tongues to lift one cry
          F/A               A#2
Then from north to south and east to west
           F/C       B(add4)     F     C    A#2
We'd hear "Christ be magnified!"


Verse 2:
         F                         A#2
Were the whole earth echoing His eminence
    F                             A#2
His name would burst from sea and sky
     F/A          A#2
From rivers to the mountaintops
           F/C       B(add4)   F       F2       F
We'd hear "Christ be magnified!"


Chorus:
F           Fsus/G A#2
O Christ be magnified
        Csus      Dm7
Let His praise arise
          Csus  A#2
Christ be magnified in me
F           Fsus/G A#2
O Christ be magnified
               Csus    Dm7
From the altar of my life
          Csus  A#2
Christ be magnified in me


Verse 3:
           F                            A#2
When every creature finds its inmost melody
          F                      A#2
And every human heart its native cry
           F/A           A#2
Oh then in one enraptured hymn of praise
            F/C      B(add4)  A#2   A#6         F/A#        A#2
We'll sing "Christ be magnified!"

Bridge:
A#2
I won't bow to idols
           B(add4)
I'll stand strong and worship You
      Dm7
If it puts me in the fire
       F/A
I'll rejoice cause You're there too
  A#2
I won't be formed by feelings
       B(add4)
I hold fast to what is true
       Dm7
If the cross brings transformation
              F/A
Then I'll be crucified with You
       A#2
'Cause death is just the doorway
     B(add4)
Into resurrection life
     Dm7
If I join You in Your sufferings
          F/A
Then I'll join You when You rise
         A#2
And when You return in glory
             B(add4)
With all the angels and the saints
   Dm7
My heart will still be singing
       B(add4)
And my song will be the same

Christ be magnified in me
F/C               Dm7
O Christ be magnified
                       F/A
From the altar of my life

Christ be magnified in me
