10.26.25 - Short North Sunday Gathering Liturgy

Short North Sunday Gathering Liturgy - October 26, 2025

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

CALL TO WORSHIP

CongregationYet we still belong to you; you hold our right hand. You guide us with your counsel, leading us to a glorious destiny. Whom do we have in heaven but you? We desire you more than anything on earth. Our health may fail, and our spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of our hearts; he is ours forever.

- Based on Psalm 73

BENEDICTION

Leader: Go with hearts quiet before the Lord—
ready to listen, to see His gifts, and to receive life with joy and thanksgiving.

May you turn from chasing what cannot satisfy
and find joy in what God has given.

Worship Him with honesty and humility,
and may His peace and contentment be your joy.
Peace be with you.

CongregationAnd also with you!

Song Lyrics:

Be Praised
Verse 1
You spoke those words, "Let there be light"
And there was oh
And in that same breath the stars fell in line
With one voice creation cries
You do all things well
You do all things well

Chorus
Be praised, be praised
Be praised, be praised
Be praised, be praised
Forever and always

Verse 2
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
You do all things well, from the tomb I came alive
You do all things well

Chorus

Bridge
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!

Chorus

Outro
Hallelujah
Come Thou Fount
Verse 1
Come Thou fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it, Mount of God's unchanging love

Verse 4
O to grace how great a debtor, Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter, Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above
Give Me Jesus (Dame a Cristo)
Verse 1
I don’t want anything but you
You’ve taken my heart and made it new
all of the things i thought i wanted don’t come close to knowing you

Verse 2
Here in your love I'm fully known
All that I am is yours alone
I'll spend forever in the pleasure I've found here before your throne

Chorus 1
Give me Jesus, Give me Jesus
You can have all this world
You can have all this world

Verse 3
Más que la plata y oro es
El gran tesoro de tu amor
Ahora que he probado tu bondad
Nada más me saciará

Chorus 2
Dame a Cristo, solo a Cristo
Dejo todo por Él, dejo todo por Él

Bridge 2
No quiero a nadie más
No necesito nada más
Eres mi todo, Eres mi todo

Bridge 1
I don’t want anyone else
I don’t need anything else
You are my one thing, You are my one thing

Refrain 1
You are my one thing, You are my one thing, You are my one thing
Abide
Verse 1
For my waking breath, for my daily bread
I depend on You, I depend on You
For the sun to rise, for my sleep at night
I depend on You, I depend on You

Chorus
You're the Way, the Truth and the Life
You're the well that never runs dry
I'm the branch and You are the vine
Draw me close and teach me to abide

Verse 2
Where Your Spirit leads as I'm following
I depend on You, I depend on You
For the victories still in front of me
I depend on You, I depend on You

Chorus
Chorus 2
Be my strength, my song in the night
Be my all, my treasure, my prize
I am Yours forever You're mine
Draw me close and teach me to abide

Verse 3
When I pass through death, as I enter rest
I depend on You, I depend on You
For eternal life, to be raised with Christ
I depend on You, I depend on You

Ending
Draw me close and teach me to abide
Goodness of God
Verse 1
I love you, Lord
For your mercy never fails me
All my days, I’ve been held in your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Till I lay my head
I will sing of the goodness of God

Chorus
All my life you have been faithful
All my life you have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God

Verse 2
I love your voice
You have led me through the fire
In darkest night you are close like no other
I’ve known you as a father
I’ve known you as a friend
I have lived in the goodness of God

Chorus

Bridge
Your goodness is running after,
It’s running after me
Your goodness is running after,
It’s running after me
With my life laid down, I’m surrendered now
I give you everything
Your goodness is running after,
It’s running after me
All Hail King Jesus
Chorus
All hail, King Jesus, All hail the Lord of heaven and earth
All hail, King Jesus, All hail the Savior of the world
All hail, King Jesus, All hail the Lord of heaven and earth
All hail, King Jesus, All hail the Savior of the world

Bridge
Let every knee, come bow before the King of kings
Let every tongue, confess that He is Lord
Lift up your shout, let us join with all of heaven
Singing holy
Singing holy
You are holy
You are holy
I Thank God
Verse 1
Wandering into the night, Wanting a place to hide
This weary soul, this bag of bones
I try with all my might, But I just can’t win the fight
I’m slowly drifting, a vagabond

Pre-Chorus 1
Just when I ran out of road, I met a Man I didn’t know
And He told me that I was not alone

Chorus
He picked me up, He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart, He changed my name
Forever free, I am not the same
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
I thank God

Verse 2
I cannot deny what I’ve seen, There’s no choice, but to believe
My doubts are burning, like ashes in the wind
So long to my old friends, Burden and bitterness
Just keep it moving, you ain’t welcome here

Pre-Chorus 2
From now till I walk the streets of gold, I’ll sing of how you saved my soul
This wayward son has found his way back home

Bridge 1 
Hell lost another one
I am free, I am free, I am free
Hell lost another one
I am free, I am free, I am free
Hell lost another one
I am free, I am free, I am free
Hell lost another one
I am free, I am free, I am free
Hell lost another one
I am free, I am free, I am free
