G   D  Cadd9
[Strophe]
        G                Cadd9 
Were creation suddenly articulate 
       G                           Cadd9 
With a thousand tongues to lift one cry 
          G/B               Cadd9 
Then from north to south and east to west 
           Dsus      D 
We'd hear 'Christ be magnified!'
[Instrumentale]
G   D  Cadd9
[Strophe]
         G                      Cadd9 
Were the whole earth echoing His eminence 
    G                             Cadd9 
His name would burst from sea and sky 
     G/B           Cadd9 
From rivers to the mountain tops 
           Dsus     D        G 
We'd hear 'Christ be magnified!'

[Strophe]
           G                           Cadd9 
When every creature finds its inmost melody 
          G                      Cadd9 
And every human heart its native cry 
          G/B            Cadd9 
O then in one enraptured hymn of praise 
            Dsus            Cadd9 
We'll sing 'Christ be magnified!'

O be lifted high, Jesus

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/B 
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/B 
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/B 
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
