Third Day - Creed Lyrics

This is a song by the late, great Rich Mullins

I believe in
Believe
I believe in
Yeah, yeah

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
He suffered under Pontius Pilate
He was crucified and dead and buried

I believe what I believe, yeah
Is what makes me what I am
Oh, I did not make it, no it is making me
It is the very truth of God and not the invention of any man

I believe that He who suffered
Was crucified, 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 men

And I believe what I believe, yeah
Is what makes me what I am
Oh, I did not make it, no it is making me
It is the very truth of God and not the invention of any man

And I believe it, I believe it
Oh, I say I believe it
Yes, I believe it
Oh, I believe it

And I believe in God the Father
Almighty Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth
And in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, our Lord
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, one Holy Church
The communion of Saints
The forgiveness of sin
I believe in the resurrection
I believe in a life that never ends

I believe what I believe, yeah
Is what makes me what I am
No, I did not make it, no it is making me
I did not make it, no it is making me
I did not make it, no it is making me
It is the very truth of God and not the invention of any man

And I believe it, I believe it
And I believe, I believe it
Oh, I said I believe it
Portland, Maine, do you believe it?
Do you believe it?
Do you believe it?
Yes, we believe
