Creed, a song by Rich Mullins A paraphrase of the Apostles' Creed I've been stirred recently to share the basics of my faith in Christ. In this age, people don't know the Bible, gospel, or truth that we might assume they do, so perhaps it is time for you, too, to share the details of where you come from spiritually. Our friends and family deserve to know. I think this is a perfect place to start. It's a song based upon the long-held traditions and creed of the Church, and the power of music helps the memory. Here are the words; check out YouTube for Rich Mullins' or Third Day's version. Sing, memorize, know the truth!
I believe in God the Father
Almighty maker of heaven and maker of earth
And in Jesus Christ his only begotten son Our Lord
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit
Born of the virgin Mary
Suffered under Pontius Pilate
He was crucified and dead and buried
CHORUS: (not part of the original creed, but a response to it)
And I believe what I believe
Is what makes me what I am
I did not make it
No it is making me
It is the very truth of God
Not the invention of any man
And I believe that he who suffered
Was crucified and buried and dead
He descended into hell and on the third day
He rose again
He ascended into heaven
Where he sits at God's mighty right hand And I believe that he's returning
To judge the quick and the dead and the sons of man
CHORUS
I believe it, I believe it
I believe in God the Father
Almighty maker of heaven and maker of earth
And in Jesus Christ his only begotten son Our Lord
I believe in the Holy Spirit
One Holy Church
The communion of saints
The forgiveness of sins
I believe in the resurrection
I believe in a life that never ends
CHORUS
