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
O Christ be magnified let His praise arise Christ be magnified in me
O Christ be magnified from the altar of my life Christ be magnified in me
When every creature finds its inmost melody and every human heart its native cry
O then in one nraptured hymn of praise we'll sing Christ be magnified
I won't bow to idols I'll stand strong and worship You
If it puts me in the fire I'll rejoice 'cause You're there too
I won't be formed by feelings I'll hold fast to what is true
If the cross brings transformation then I'll be crucified with You
'Cause death is just the doorway into resurrection life
If I join You in Your sufferings 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
