        A                 D2
Were creation suddenly articulate

With a thousand tongues to lift one cry
          A/C#             D2

We’d hear "Christ be magnified!"

Were the whole earth echoing His eminence
    A                           D2
His name would burst from sea and sky
     A/C#        D2
From rivers to the mountaintops
           A/E     E(add4) A     A2 A
We’d hear "Christ be magnified!"

           A                          D2
When every creature finds its inmost melody

We’ll sing "Christ be magnifie d!"

Bridge
D2
I won’t bow to idols
           E(add4)
I’ll stand strong and worship You
      F#m7
If it puts me in the fire
       A/C#
I’ll rejoice ‘cause You’re there too
  D2
I won’t be formed by feelings
       E(add4)
I hold fast to what is true
       F#m7
If the cross brings transformation
              A/C#
Then I’ll be crucified with You
       D2
'Cause death is just the doorway
     E(add4)
Into resurrection life
     F#m7
If I join You in Your sufferings
          A/C#
Then I’ll join You when You rise
         D2
And when You return in glory
             E(add4)
With all the angels and the saints
   F#m7
My heart will still be singing
       E(add4)
And my song will be the same
