'I believe in God the Father' lyrics
I believe in God the Father, Who created Heav’n and earth; Made the stars to shine so brightly, Gave each living thing its birth. I believe in God the Father, And in Jesus Christ His Son, Who was crucified on Calv’ry For the sins that all have done.
I believe He died, was buried, Rose again, no more to die; And ascending to His Father, Took His seat with Him on high. I believe in God the Spirit, Sent to us from Heav’n above, And the Church our blessèd Savior Hath redeemed by His great love.
I believe in His forgiveness, And His wondrous power to save; In a glorious resurrection, And a life beyond the grave. I believe in God the Father, I believe in God the Son, And in God the Holy Spirit, Everlasting Three in One.
