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
