The Song Story
The Church has recited the words of the Apostle’s Creed for more than 1500 years. It’s the very truth of God…the essential things we believe as followers of Jesus. We’ve also sung it for more than 30 years now. CREED isn’t our song or even a new song. But it’s a song we all need to sing! Rich Mullins originally released this classic in 1993 and we’re so excited to introduce it to an entirely new generation of Christian radio listeners while creating beautiful nostalgia for fans of Rich (or Third Day who also recorded it in the early 2000s). This song united us around the truths of God…the pillars of faith. That God was real. He came to Earth to dwell among us. Jesus died for us. He rose again! He ascended to Heaven. He rules and He reigns. He’s coming back again! These are the things we bet our lives on as followers of Jesus. They are true.
Rich writes “I did not make it, no it is making me. It is the very truth of God not the invention of any man.” This is a declaration for 2024 if we’ve ever heard one! The Scriptures tell us who God is and they tell us how to live and who we are to be in response to what He’s done for us. Knowing how many creed-like songs have been so impactful for your listeners in the past: “I Believe It (The Life of Jesus)”, “We Believe”, “This I Believe (The Creed)”, we’re so excited for them to hear this one with fresh ears or for the very first time!

The Lyrics
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
And I believe what I believe
It’s 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
I believe that He who suffered
Was crucified buried and dead
He descended into hell
And on the third day rose again
He ascended into Heaven
Where He sits at God’s mighty right hand
I believe that He’s returning
To judge the quick and the dead
Of the sons of men
And I believe what I believe
It’s 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
I believe I believe it
I believe I believe it
Oh 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 sin
I believe in the resurrection
I believe in a life that never ends
And I believe what I believe
It’s what makes me what I am
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
Not the invention of any man
