English: Wall painting at Partrishow (3) The Apostles’ Creed. Note the scraps of paintwork around the panel: there may be a palimpsest of images here, with possibly most or all the walls painted in the mediaeval period. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Here’s a credal song that I wrote that we use around here.

1

By the Word the Father spoke light into the darkness

By the Word all creatures came to be

By the Word the Father broke the land from formless waters

By the Word breathed life in you and me

2

By the Word the Son became the light into the darkness

By the Word born flesh in Bethlehem

By the Word Who’s crucified and raised to rule forever

And the Word will come to judge all men

C

He is the way, the truth and the life

Christ Jesus, God’s only Son

Lamb who was slain is the Lion forever

And in His blood we are one

3

By the Word the Spirit speaks light into our darkness

By the Word He sets the captives free

By the Word unites us in the everlasting kingdom

By the Word we live eternally

C

He is the way, the truth and the life

Christ Jesus, God’s only Son

Lamb who was slain is the Lion forever

And in His blood we are one

As You are, Lord, make us one
