With a thousand tongues to lift one cry

We'd hear Christ be magnified

When every creature finds its inmost melody

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