APOSTLES’ CREED
Lyrics
Verse 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
Verse 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
Verse 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

Sample Introduction
The Apostles’ Creed is in the form of a story. It begins with God and creation. It moves to the incarnation, death and resurrection of Jesus as well as looking forward to his return. And it tells the story of the Spirit’s involvement in our lives now – speaking through the Bible, gathering the church, reassuring guilty hearts, and filling us with hope. So as we sing the Apostles’ Creed let us rejoice in the story of salvation and celebrate the gospel.
