Intro:  Dm    C    Dm    C ...

    Dm               C       Bb        F/A        Bb
I believe in God the Father - maker of heaven and earth 
       Gm               Bb    Eb                          Bb/D    F/C
And in Jesus Christ His only Son, I believe in the virgin birth 
    Dm                  C       F            Bb    Eb
I believe in the Man of Sorrows bruised for iniquities 
    Gm                        Bb/F  Eb      Gm               F        (intro)
I believe in the Lamb who was crucified and hung between two thieves

    Dm                C              Bb        F/A      Bb
I believe in the resurrection on the third and glorious day 
    Gm               Bb/F  Eb                                Dm      C
And I believe in the empty tomb and the stone that the angel rolled away 
Dm      C          F       Bb/F     Eb
  He descended and set the captives free 
    Gm             Bb/F        Eb          Gm                F
And now He sits at God's right hand and prepares a place for me 

Chorus: 
           Bb          F#      Ab     Bb
This is my creed - the witness I have heard 
    F#         Ab    Bb          Gm         F
The faith that has endured, this truth is assured 
Cm          Dm      Eb   F            Db          Eb
Through the darkest ages past, though persecuted, it will last 
    F#               Ab           Bb        (C)
And I will hold steadfast to this creed 

    Dm                C         Bb      F        Bb
I believe He sent His Spirit to comfort and to reveal 
   Gm               Bb/F       Eb                      Bb/D   F/C	
To lead us into the truth and light, to baptize and to seal 
    Am                 Dm            F      Bb    Eb
I believe that He will come back the way He went away 
      Gm             Bb/F  Eb        Gm               F
And receive us all unto Himself, but no man knows the day 

(Chorus)

Gm           F               Gm                 F
I believe He is the Judge of all men, small and great 
    Bb          C              Bb                   C
The resurrected souls of men receive from Him their fate 
Dm                C             Dm              A
Some to death and some to life, some to their reward 
Bb            C                Bb          C     
Some to sing eternal praise forever to our Lord 

(Solo: Bb    F#  Ab  Bb    F#  Ab  Bb    Gm  F )

Cm          Dm      Eb   F            Db          Eb
Through the darkest ages past, though persecuted, it will last
    F#               Ab           Bb
And I will hold steadfast to this creed
     F#      Ab     Bb         F#         Ab    Bb
(The witness I have heard, the faith that has endured)

F#  Ab  Bb    F#  Ab  Bb ...
