We magnify your name.

 We Magnify Your Name

A Reflection on Psalm 34:3 and Psalm 145:1-3

We magnify Your name—not because You grow in stature,

But because our hearts expand to grasp Your every feature.

Like a lens that brings the distant star into clearer view,

We magnify to see the depths of love that made us new.

Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together! (Psalm 34:3)

We magnify Your name—through the whisper and the roar,

Through the silence of the valley and the victory’s open door.

Not to add to Your perfection, but to lift our eyes above

The clutter of our worries, and to fill our mouths with love.

Your name is already great, already high and lifted up.

Yet we magnify like children lifting up a cup

To catch the morning sunlight—not to make the sunlight more,

But to be filled with radiance we never knew before.

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom. (Psalm 145:3)

So let our lives be magnifiers—each thought, each word, each deed,

A lens that brings Your glory to the friend who is in need.

Let our homes, our work, our worship, all our joys and all our strife,

Magnify the name of Jesus—the way, the truth, the life.

We magnify Your name—not with instruments alone,

But with hands that serve, with feet that go, with hearts that have become a throne

For Your presence, Your power, Your peace, Your reign.

We magnify Your name. Amen. Amen.

Amen.
