Verse 1:
        E                   A2
Were creation suddenly articulate
       E                          A2
With a thousand tongues to lift one cry
          E/G#               A2
Then from north to south and east to west
           E/B       B(add4)     E     B    A2
We'd hear "Christ be magnified!"


Verse 2:
         E                         A2
Were the whole earth echoing His eminence
    E                             A2
His name would burst from sea and sky
     E/G#          A2
From rivers to the mountaintops
           E/B       B(add4)   E       E2       E
We'd hear "Christ be magnified!"

O Christ be magnified
        Bsus      C#m7
Let His praise arise

Christ be magnified in me
E           Esus/F# A2
O Christ be magnified

From the altar of my life

Christ be magnified in me


Verse 3:
           E                            A2
When every creature finds its inmost melody
          E                      A2
And every human heart its native cry
           E/G#           A2
Oh then in one enraptured hymn of praise
            E/B      B(add4)  A2   A6         E/A        A2
We'll sing "Christ be magnified!"

Bridge:
A2
I won't bow to idols
           B(add4)
I'll stand strong and worship You
      C#m7
If it puts me in the fire
       E/G#
I'll rejoice cause You're there too
  A2
I won't be formed by feelings
       B(add4)
I hold fast to what is true
       C#m7
If the cross brings transformation
              E/G#
Then I'll be crucified with You
       A2
'Cause death is just the doorway
     B(add4)
Into resurrection life
     C#m7
If I join You in Your sufferings
          E/G#
Then I'll join You when You rise
         A2
And when You return in glory
             B(add4)
With all the angels and the saints
   C#m7
My heart will still be singing
       B(add4)
And my song will be the same

From the altar of my life

Christ be magnified in me
