4.27.25 - Short North Sunday Gathering Liturgy

Short North Sunday Gathering Liturgy - April 27, 2025

Pause to reflect on the readings, prayers, and songs we share in together as the body of Christ at Sunday morning worship Gatherings.

COMMITMENT

Leader: May we lead a life worthy of our calling, for we have been called by God. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

Congregation: For there is one body and one Spirit, just as we have been called to one glorious hope for the future. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all, in all, and living through all.

—Based on Ephesians 4:1-6

BENEDICTION

Leader: As we go from here, may we be one, just as the Father and the Son are one—united in love, truth, and purpose.

May the glory Christ has given us shape the way we live, and may His prayer over us echo in our hearts: that we would be kept in His name, filled with His joy, and sent into the world in His love.

Go in peace, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Peace be with you.

Congregation: And also with you!

Song Lyrics:

Before the Throne of God Above
Verse 1
Before the throne of God above, I have a strong and perfect plea
A great High Priest whose name is Love, Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His hands, My name is written in His heart
I know that while in heav'n He stands,
No power can force me to depart
No power can force me to depart

Verse 2
When Satan tempts me to despair, And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there, Who made an end of all my sin
Because the sinless Savior died, My sinful soul is counted free
For God the Just is satisfied,
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me

Verse 3
Behold Him there the Risen Lamb, My perfect spotless Righteousness
The great unchangeable I Am, The King of Glo - ry and of grace
One with my Lord I cannot die, My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is safe with Christ on high,
With Christ my Savior and my God
With Christ my Savior and my God

Tag:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Praise the One, risen Son, of God

Verse 4
I bow before the cross of Christ, and marvel at this love divine
God's perfect Son was sacrificed, to make me righteous in God's eyes
This rivers depths I cannot know, But I can glory in its flood
The Lord most High has looked down low,
And poured on me His glorious love
And poured on me His glorious love
I Stand Amazed
Verse 1
I stand amazed in the presence, Of Jesus the Nazarene
And wonder how He could love me, A sinner condemned unclean

Chorus
How marvelous how wonderful, And my song shall ever be
How marvelous how wonderful, Is my Savior's love for me

Verse 2
He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them His very own
He bore the burden to Calvary, And suffered and died alone

Verse 3
When with the ransomed in glory, His face I at last shall see
will be my joy through the ages, To sing of His love for me
Jesus At The Center (Jesús En El Centro)
Verse 1
Jesus at the center of it all, Jesus at the center of it all
From beginning to the end, It will always be, it's always been You Jesus, Jesus

Chorus
And nothing else matters, Nothing in this world will do
Jesus You're the center, Everything revolves around You Jesus You
At the center of it all At the center of it all

Verse 2
Jesus be the center of my life, Jesus be the center of my life
From beginning to the end, It will always be, it's always been You Jesus, Jesus

Chorus
Tú eres el centro, Nada importa más que Tú
Todo el universo Gira en pos de Ti, Jesús, de Ti Jesús

Bridge
From my heart to the Heavens, Jesus be the center
It's all about You, Yes it's all about You

Verse 3
Jesus be the center of Your church, Jesus be the center of Your church
And every knee will bow, Every tongue shall confess You, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Cristo, Cristo, Cristo, Cristo

Bridge
De mi ser hasta el cielo, Cristo sé el centro
Mi vida eres Tú, sí, mi vida eres Tú

Chorus
Tú eres el centro, Nada importa más que Tú
Todo el universo Gira en pos de Ti, Jesús, de Ti Jesús

Chorus
And nothing else matters, Nothing in this world will do
Jesus You're the center, Everything revolves around You Jesus You
At the center of it all At the center of it all
The Church
Chorus
Oh praise the Father, praise the Son
Holy Spirit, make us one
Every nation, tribe and tongue
This is our cry, Your Kingdom come


You Hold it All Together
Verse 1
You come, at the right time,
When I least expect it, Never behind
So why would I be surprised,
When You deliver, Every time

Pre-Chorus
On mountaintops
You stay the same
In valleys low, You never change

Chorus
And I believe that I will see
The goodness of the Lord
I’m confident as seasons change
Your faithfulness remains

Verse 2
You go, You go before me
To prepare the blessing, You made a way
It’s more than I could imagine
More than I can fathom, Or comprehend

Bridge
God of my present, God of my future
You write my story
You hold it all together

You are the Alpha, You're the Omega
You're in the middle
You hold it all together
You are the Alpha, You're the Omega
You're in the middle
You hold it all together
