"Creed" by Rich Mullins, as quoted in Beth Moore, Believing God: Experiencing a Fresh Explosion of Faith

I believe in God the Father
Almighty Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth
And in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, our Lord
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
He was crucified and dead and buried.
I believe that He who suffered
was crucified, buried and dead
He descended into hell and on the third day,
He rose again
He ascended into Heaven
where He sits at God's mighty right hand
I believe that He's returning
To judge the quick and the dead of the sons of men
I believe in the Holy Spirit
One Holy Church
The communion of Saints
The forgiveness of sins
I believe in the resurrection,
I believe in a life that never ends

I believe what I believe is what makes me what I am
I did not make it,
no it is making me
It is the very truth of God
and not the invention of any man (218).
