Short North Sunday Gathering Liturgy - January 11, 2026
Pause to reflect on the readings, prayers, and songs we share in together as the body of Christ at Sunday morning worship Gatherings.
COMMITMENT
Congregation: You are holy, O God of majesty,
and blessed is Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord.
Leader: You sent him into this world
to satisfy the longings of your people for a Savior,
to bring freedom to the captives of sin,
and to establish justice for the oppressed.
He came among us as one of us,
taking the lot of the poor,
sharing human suffering.
Congregation: We rejoice that in his death and rising again,
you set before us the sure promise of new life,
the certain hope of a heavenly home
where we will sit at the table with Christ, our host.

Song Lyrics:
Amazing Grace
Verse 1
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
Interlude
I see, I see
I see, I see
Verse 2
T'was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Interlude
Believed, believed
Believed, believed
Verse 3
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
Interlude
Believe, believe
Believe, believe
Believe, believe
Verse 4
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Then when we first begun
Outro
I see, I see
I see, I see

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found

Verse 1
In the moments when nothing makes sense,
as we wander in the wilderness;
we've been searching for your love; searching for your answer
we've been searching for your love
In the moments when the storm clouds shadow,
and our window of escape has narrowed;
we've been crying for your help; crying for your rescue
we've been crying for your help; crying for your help
Chorus
(but) You turn your ear to your children
You spread your open arms
And not one prayer will be wasted
You hear us when we cry out "Abba!" "Abba!" "Abba!"
You hear us when we cry out "Abba!" "Abba!" "Abba!"
Verse 2
In the moments when everything hurts,
and we can't imagine anything worse;
we've been pleading for the cure; pleading for your healing
we've been pleading for the cure
In the moments when our grief rolls in,
and it suffocates the hope within;
We’ve been clinging to your Word; clinging to your promise
We’ve been clinging to your Word, clinging to your Word
Bridge
(And) your Word tells me that you want to be my everything,
that you want to be close to me; you are my father, you are my father
In the moments when nothing makes sense,
as we wander in the wilderness;
we've been searching for your love; searching for your answer
we've been searching for your love
In the moments when the storm clouds shadow,
and our window of escape has narrowed;
we've been crying for your help; crying for your rescue
we've been crying for your help; crying for your help
Chorus
(but) You turn your ear to your children
You spread your open arms
And not one prayer will be wasted
You hear us when we cry out "Abba!" "Abba!" "Abba!"
You hear us when we cry out "Abba!" "Abba!" "Abba!"
Verse 2

and we can't imagine anything worse;
we've been pleading for the cure; pleading for your healing
we've been pleading for the cure

and it suffocates the hope within;
We’ve been clinging to your Word; clinging to your promise
We’ve been clinging to your Word, clinging to your Word

that you want to be close to me; you are my father, you are my father

Blood of Jesus
Verse 1
Where would I be without the cross
My sins were piled high with no way out
Underneath the weight
Of all my guilt and shame
Where would I be without the cross
Chorus
You save and redeem, You deliver, You set free
You save and redeem, You change everything
You save and redeem, You deliver, You set free
You save and redeem, You change everything
Verse 2
Where would I be without You, Jesus
You have done what no one else could do
Your love reached for me
And through Your blood I've been made clean
Now my life is found in only You
Bridge
It was nothing but the blood
Nothing but the blood
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
It was nothing but the blood
Nothing but the blood
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Where would I be without the cross
My sins were piled high with no way out
Underneath the weight
Of all my guilt and shame
Where would I be without the cross
Chorus
You save and redeem, You deliver, You set free
You save and redeem, You change everything
You save and redeem, You deliver, You set free
You save and redeem, You change everything
Verse 2
Where would I be without You, Jesus
You have done what no one else could do
Your love reached for me
And through Your blood I've been made clean
Now my life is found in only You

Nothing but the blood
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
It was nothing but the blood
Nothing but the blood
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
