For the different ways we see you
For all the ways you move
All the colors and expressions
Oh, the beauty of your Church

From a “local church ministry to an internally renowned collective,” Bethel Music still strives to “raise up worshippers.” The collective has broken multiple music chart records with songs listed in Christian Copyright Licensing International’s (CCLI) Top 25 songs since 2013.

Bethel Music, led by Jenn Johnson, will perform a “powerful new single” from their latest album, “We Must Respond.” Fans can watch the performance on Friday, April 18, 2025, on NBC at 3:00 p.m. ET / 2:00 p.m. CT. Check local listings for specific times in local areas.

The chosen song, “The Church,” is a worshipful outcry for unity within the church written by Jenn Johnson, David Funk, Oscar Gamboa, Gabriel Gamboa, Julian Gamboa, Sebastian Suarez, Abbie Gambos, Elyssa Smith, and Kristian Stanfill.

Other lyrics of the song read:

What a masterful reflection, when we are unified
Truly celebrate each other and let go of our pride
That you would have a spotless bride

Oh praise the Father, praise the Son
Holy Spirit, make us one
Every nation, tribe, and tongue
This is our cry, your Kingdom come

We surrender our agendas, our preferences, our plans
Would you help us work together
To be your feet and hands
Our heart is just to know you
To show them who you are
The gospel’s still the answer for every searching heart

Bethel Music is also working on a 12-city worship tour, starting June 5 in Daytona Beach, Florida. The “Bethel Music Worship & Ministry Nights” will also include stops in Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin.

“These nights are our moment to respond, to wait on the Lord, and to be unified as His people,” says the tour description. “In this sacred space, we expect God to touch the hearts of His people and to do something extraordinary.”
