Tim Chester and EMU Music have composed a song based on the Apostles’ Creed.
Trying to bring a creedal expression in song to the church is worth encouraging.
The lyrics:
1.
I believe in God the Father, mighty and eternal Lord
He alone is the Creator, forming all things by his word
I believe in our Lord Jesus, God’s own Son who came to earth
Born a man, by the Spirit, by a virgin given birth
Chorus:
Sing praise to the Father, to the Spirit and the Son
Sing praise to our holy God, forever three in one
2.
I believe that Jesus suffered, on the cross he bore my shame
I believe that he was buried, then triumphant rose again
Glorified, he has ascended, seated at the Father’s side
He will come again in judgement, justice will be satisfied
Chorus.
3.
I believe the Holy Spirit comes to us from Christ above
I believe the church is holy, one communion in God’s love
I believe I am forgiven through the sacrifice of Christ
I believe in resurrection and in everlasting life
Chorus.
