1 I believe in God the Father;
mighty, yet the fount of love;
Maker of the whole creation,
earth below and heaven above.
I believe in Jesus Christ, 
His only Son before all time;
all authority is His, 
our Lord and Savior, Word divine.

2 He stepped into time and history,
by the Spirit was conceived;
born in flesh of Virgin Mary,
humble servant who believed.
Jesus suffered under Pilate,
and was cruelly crucified;
entered death which was our sentence;
ours the sin for which He died.

3 To the dead He then descended,
entering to claim His own;
leading forth a host of captives,
casting Satan from his throne.
On the third day Christ arose,
triumphant over death's domain;
first-fruit of the New Creation,
victor over Satan's reign.

4 He ascended into heaven, 
and sits at the Father's hand;
for our lives He's interceding,
till on earth He takes His stand.
Jesus Christ will come again 
to judge the living and the dead;
then the world will be made right with
Jesus as our living head.

5 I believe the Triune God is
Father, Holy Spirit, Son;
I believe the Holy Spirit
is with them forever one.
I believe there is one holy
church for whom Christ bled and died;
Saints throughout the world and time
who share communion as His bride.

6 Wondrous gift of sins forgiven,
purchased at a costly price;
freely must be given to others,
honoring Christ's sacrifice.
I believe that we will rise with
bodies new forevermore;
living in a New Creation
with the God whom we adore.
