Nathaniel Bassey - The Son Of God Lyrics

“The Son of God” by Nathaniel Bassey is a lifted-voice praise chorus that names Jesus as exalted. The opening line, “The Son of God is lifted high,” is repeated eight times with the congregation echoing each time, setting a simple, shared pattern. The chorus adds, “Oh wonderful and glorious, Jesus the Son of God is lifted high.”

The song then moves through three words: lifted, magnified, and glorified. The magnified section names the places where Jesus is honored, saying “In Nigeria, Jesus is magnified” and then “In my life,” which moves the praise from a nation to the singer’s own heart. The glorified section repeats the line in the same call-and-response form.

The lifting up of Jesus recalls John 12:32 and Philippians 2:9-11, where he is exalted and every name is placed below his. The magnifying of the Lord echoes Psalm 34:3. The song is repetitive by design, built for congregational praise.
