Short North Sunday Gathering Liturgy - April 26, 2026
Pause to reflect on the readings, prayers, and songs we share in together as the body of Christ at Sunday morning worship Gatherings.
CONFESSION & ASSURANCE
Leader: Hear the good news!
Who is in a position to condemn?

The old life has gone;
a new life has begun.

Thanks be to God.

Eternal God unchanging mysterious and unknown
Your boundless love, Unfailing in grace and mercy shown
Bright seraphim in ceaseless flight around Your glorious throne
They raise their voices day and night in praise to You alone

Surround us with Your angels, Hold us in Your arms

Rise up O Lord and he will flee, Before our sov'reign God
Verse 3
Let ev'ry creature in the sea, And ev'ry flying bird
Let ev'ry mountain, Ev'ry field and valley of the earth
Let all the moons and all the stars in all the universe
Sing praises to the living God who rules them by His Word

You spoke those words, "Let there be light"

Be praised, be praised (x3)
Forever and always

Lost in the dark up under the dirt, I was buried left to die
And I heard Your voice calling my name, From the tomb I came alive

Forever and always

When I think of all You’ve done and all the battles You’ve brought me
over, Hallelujah!
And all the storms I saw You calm in my defence my only song is:
Hallelujah!
And how He never let me fall now unto Him who is able, Hallelujah!
And let there never be a day that I don’t rise to bring You praise
Hallelujah, hallelujah!

How Deep the Father's Love For Us
Verse 1
How deep the Father's love for us, How vast beyond all mea - sure
That He should give His on - ly Son, To make a wretch His trea - sure
How great the pain of sear - ing loss, The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Cho - sen One, Bring many sons to glo - ry

Verse 2
Behold the man upon a cross, My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mock - ing voice, Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there, Until it was accom - plished
His dying breath has brought me life, I know that it is fin - ished
Behold the man upon a cross, My sin upon His shoulders

Verse 3
I will not boast in an - y - thing, No gifts no power no wis - dom

What Wondrous Love Is This
What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul.
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul.
When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down beneath God’s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.
...for my soul.
When I was sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down beneath God’s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul, for my soul,

...for my soul.
To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb I will sing.
To God and to the Lamb Who is the great “I Am”;
While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing;
While millions join the theme, I will sing.
To God and to the Lamb I will sing.
To God and to the Lamb Who is the great “I Am”;
While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing;
While millions join the theme, I will sing.
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on;
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on.
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be,
And through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
And through eternity I’ll sing on.
...sing on
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on.
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be,
And through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
And through eternity I’ll sing on.

Living Hope
Verse 1
How great the chasm that lay between us, How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation I turned to Heaven, And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness, Your loving kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul, The work is finished, The end is written
Jesus Christ, My living hope
How great the chasm that lay between us, How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation I turned to Heaven, And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness, Your loving kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul, The work is finished, The end is written
Jesus Christ, My living hope
Verse 2
Who could imagine so great a mercy,
What heart could fathom, Such boundless grace
The God of angels, Stepped down from glory, To wear my sin and bear my shame
The cross has spoken I am forgiven, The King of kings calls me His own
Beautiful Savior I’m Yours forever
Jesus Christ my living hope
Chorus
Hallelujah, Praise the one who set me free
Hallelujah, Death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain, There’s salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ my living hope
Verse 3
Y tus promesas fueron selladas, cuando tu cuerpo resucitó
desde el silencio tu gran rugido, quebró el poder de la muerte en mí
(Repeat verse again in English)
Then came the morning that sealed the promise, Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence the roaring lion, Declared the grave has no claim on me
Jesus Yours is the victory
Final Chorus
Hallelujah, Praise the one who set me free
Hallelujah, Death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain, There’s salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ my living hope
O Aleluya, sea al que me libertó
Aleluya, de la muerte me arrancó
Las cadenas quebrantó, Y en Su nombre hay salvación
Mi esperanza está en Jesús
Ending

Mi esperanza está en Jesús

None But Jesus
Chorus
There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise
Chorus
No hay nadie como tú
Sólo Cristo
Moriste por mí en la cruz
Viviré para alabar
There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise

No hay nadie como tú
Sólo Cristo
Moriste por mí en la cruz
Viviré para alabar
