Be Magnified

Fred Hammond · Other Songs - Fred Hammond

Verse 1

I have made You too small in my eyes

Oh Lord, forgive me

And I have believed in a lie

That You are unable to help me.

But now, Oh Lord, I see my wrong

Heal my heart and show Yourself strong

And in my eyes and with my song

Oh Lord, be magnified (bis)

Chorus:

Be magnified, Oh Lord

You are highly exalted

And there is nothing You can't do

Oh Lord, my eyes are on You

Be magnified,

Oh Lord, be magnified

Verse 2

I have leaned on a wisdom of men

Oh Lord, please forgive me

And I have responded to them

Instead of Your light and Your mercy

But now, Oh Lord, I see my wrong

Heal my heart and show yourself strong

And in my eyes and in my song

Oh Lord be magnified (bis)

Chorus x2
