Christ Be Magnified (Live At Passion 2020) Lyrics[Verse 1]
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"
[Verse 2]
Were the whole earth echoing His eminence
His name would burst from sea and sky
From rivers to the mountaintops
We’d hear, "Christ be magnified"
[Chorus]
O Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
O Christ be magnified
From the altar of my lifе
Christ be magnified in me
[Verse 3]
Whеn every creature finds its inmost melody
And every human heart its native cry
O then in one enraptured hymn of praise
We’ll sing, "Christ be magnified"
Yes! This is what we're made to do right here!
We give You praise, Jesus! Come on!
[Chorus]
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
I wanna be holy. I wanna be sanctified, Jesus. Burn in me, Jesus
[Bridge]
I won’t bow to idols
I’ll stand strong and worship You
And if it puts me in the fire
I’ll rejoice ‘cause You’re there too
You might also likeI 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
And if I join You in Your suffering
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- Let's sing it again! "I won't bow" (will be the same)
No, I won’t bow to idols
I’ll stand strong and worship You
And 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
And if I join You in Your suffering
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 (Oh!)
[Chorus]
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- That's it! One more time! (me)
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 (Yeah)
Come on, give Him praise! Hallelujah!
