I Came To Magnify
(recorded by Bishop Clarence McClendon & The Fire Harvest Mega Mass Choir)


Verse
I came to magnify the Lord,
praise His holy name,
lift Jesus higher,
lift Jesus higher.

Chorus
I just came to magnify,
I just came to glorify,
I just came to praise the Lord.

Bridge
For He is worthy,
worthy of all my praise.

For He is worthy,
worthy of all my praise.

For He is worthy,
worthy of all my praise.

Never will a rock cry out in my place,
He's worthy of all my praise.

Chorus

Vamp 1
Never will a rock cry out in my place,
He's worthy of all my praise.

Vamp 2
Never, never,
never, never.

Chorus

Thanks you so much.  The progressions turned out to be more obvious than I originally thought. After 40 years, I'm starting to play gospel music again, and I've found it to be nothing like the southern gospel music I played in the 60's, where the chord progressions were just variations on the I-IV-IVdim7-V-V7-I theme.  Thankfully, I'm hearing the newer chords/progressions in today's gospel and praise music clearer now...but I'm sure I will continue to rely on this site for help.  "Bless the Lord..."  E.L.Hollobaugh

T'anks.

I was so excited to find the chords. that i didn't even think about problems that I might have interpreting your notation. I must admit, it was rather difficult at first - I was a classical piano major many years ago -  but I think I understand most of it now.  As it turned out, I had correctly figured out most of the chords the old-fashioned way (i.e., play cd-stop!-play piano-play-cd-again . . . you know what I mean?).  However, your notation helped me fill in some rough spots . . . and to realize I need to come up with a quicker notation system!  Thanks again.
