New song: The Apostles’ Creed
I’ve recently co-written a few songs with EMU Music which has been a delight. Here’s a setting of the Apostles’ Creed which they featured at the Keswick Convention this year.
There are more details here, and here are the lyrics:
Verse 1
I believe in God the Father, mighty and eternal Lord
He alone is the Creator, forming all things by his word
I believe in our Lord Jesus, God’s own Son who came to earth
Born a man, by the Spirit, by a virgin given birth
Chorus
Sing praise to the Father, to the Spirit and the Son
Sing praise to our holy God, forever three in one
Verse 2
I believe that Jesus suffered, on the cross he bore my shame
I believe that he was buried, then triumphant rose again
Glorified, he has ascended, seated at the Father’s side
He will come again in judgement, justice will be satisfied
Verse 3
I believe the Holy Spirit comes to us from Christ above
I believe the church is holy, one communion in God’s love
I believe I am forgiven through the sacrifice of Christ
I believe in resurrection and in everlasting life
CCLI number 7201504

I think that it’s a wonderful rendition of the creed. It’s very singable. I hope and pray that it gets wide acceptance and use.
Were you involved in the music writing or the words only? Whilst I’ve heard a number of interviews with you over the past few years, I don’t know enough about you to know if you have that level of musical abilities! I hope that you’re not offended by my question.
