Christ Be Magnified
[Verse 1: Lily Cottrell]
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: Lily Cottrell & Travis Cottrell]
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!"
[Chorus: Lily Cottrell & Travis Cottrell]
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: Lily Cottrell & Travis Cottrell, Travis Cottrell]
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!"
Be magnified!
[Chorus: Lily Cottrell, Lily Cottrell & Travis Cottrell]
Be magnified!
O! Christ be magnified!
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
Oh-oh
O! Christ be magnified!
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me
[Bridge: Lily Cottrell, Lily Cottrell & Travis Cottrell]
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 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 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
[Chorus: Lily Cottrell & Travis Cottrell, Travis Cottrell]
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
O! Christ be magnified! (We magnify You, Lord)
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
O! Christ be magnified!
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me
