Apostles' Creed

(album: Freedom Lessons - 2023)

Uh, let's get into it
Apostles' Creed, facts
We gon' walk our way through
Luther's Small Catechism

Yeah, God chose to make Himself known
Plus, without His revelation we'd be wrong
And guessing 'bout our purposes we'd roam
Through a metaverse of sorts to sit on God's throne
But it's been revealed that we made from dirt
In the beginning, God created heaven and earth
So if I'm struggling with fear or anxiety
Seeking to manipulate God with these appeals to my piety

Then it's God's promise that'll quiet me
'Cause as a good Father, everything I need, He provided me
Eyes I can see with, mouth I can eat with
Clothes with a neat fit, home I can sleep in
[?] plus family, and meeting needs day-to-day
A God full of mercy, evil can never hurt me
No, I don't deserve it, I'm thankful He keep His word, though
Believe in God the Father, made the heaven and earth, bro

Uh, that's what I believe
God created everything
Read it in the creed
Created, redeemed, sanctified me
Was a lost sheep 'til He intervened

With the whole crew, talking our faith
Baptized, we alive 'cause of God's grace
Gift of belief, we been set free
Baptized, we alive, we are not asleep
With the whole crew, talking our faith
Baptized, we alive 'cause of God's grace
Gift of belief, we are set free
Baptized, we alive, we are not asleep, woo

Yuh, I believe in Jesus
Conceived by the Holy Ghost to release us
From our captivity, and practice impiety
And try to please God with ideas that we keep up
The old Adam in us still swimming tryna keep up
But Jesus descended into hell, then He leaped up
On the third day, then ascended into heaven
Now He saves sinners from sin and sends us into heaven

Plus He gave the Spirit to us too
Who's our comforter and counselor and keeps us in the crew
Sanctifies, illuminates, and leads us to the truth
United us with Jesus and He keeps us in Him too
It's the Spirit who's enlightening and turning on the lights
Who hovered over water at the origin of life
It's the Spirit who's delivering the benefits of Christ
Until His whole holy Church is living in eternal life

Uh, that's what I believe
God created everything
Read it in the creed
Created, redeemed, sanctified me
Was a lost sheep 'til He intervened
Uh, that's what I believe
God created everything
Read it in the creed
Created, redeemed, sanctified me
Was a lost sheep 'til He intervened

With the whole crew, talking our faith
Baptized, we alive 'cause of God's grace
Gift of belief, we been set free
Baptized, we alive, we are not asleep
With the whole crew, talking our faith
Baptized, we alive 'cause of God's grace
Gift of belief, we are set free
Baptized, we alive, we are not asleep, woo
