Credo In
A harmonic rise, deep and slow, the heart of faith begins to grow
Credo in one God
The Father almighty
Maker of heaven and earth
Of all things visible and invisible
Credo In, we chant profoundly
In the stillness, faith surrounds me
Credo in one Lord Jesus Christ
The Only Begotten Son of God
Born of the Father before all ages
God from God, Light from Light
True God from true God
Begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father
Through him all things were made
Credo In, we chant profoundly
In the stillness, faith surrounds me
For us men and for our salvation
He came down from heaven
And by the Holy Spirit
Was incarnate of the Virgin Mary
And became man
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
He suffered death and was buried
And rose again on the third day
In accordance with the Scriptures
Credo In, we chant profoundly
In the stillness, faith surrounds me
He ascended into heaven
And is seated at the right hand of the Father
He will come again in glory
To judge the living and the dead
And his kingdom will have no end
Credo In, we chant profoundly
In the stillness, faith surrounds me
Credo in the Holy Spirit
The Lord, the giver of life
Who proceeds from the Father and the Son
Who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified
Who has spoken through the prophets
Credo In, we chant profoundly
In the stillness, faith surrounds me
Credo in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
And I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
And the life of the world to come
Amen
ABOUT THIS SONG
Written and produced by Tasmanian Songwriter Jason Bresnehan, Credo In is a musical arrangement in the Sacred Chamber Music / Classical genre with a male vocal. Drawn directly from the Nicene Creed, the song transforms one of Christianity’s most enduring declarations of faith into a musical act of worship. Rather than telling a narrative story, the song is designed as a meditative journey through the central beliefs of the Christian faith, moving from God the Father, to Jesus Christ, to the Holy Spirit and the Church.
The lyrics follow the structure of the Creed itself, allowing the listener to reflect upon the foundational beliefs professed by Christians for centuries. The recurring refrain, “Credo In, we chant profoundly, In the stillness, faith surrounds me,” creates moments of contemplation between the major sections of the Creed. The song is not intended to explain or analyse doctrine. Instead, it invites the listener to participate in a musical profession of faith, affirming belief in God, Christ’s life, death and resurrection, the Holy Spirit, the Church and the promise of eternal life.
The artwork depicts a vast cathedral illuminated by streams of golden light, with a solitary figure standing beneath towering architecture and an immense pipe organ. The image reflects both the personal and communal dimensions of faith. The individual stands alone before God, yet within a sacred space built for generations of believers. The light streaming through the cathedral symbolises divine illumination, while the organ suggests the long tradition of worship, prayer and sacred music that surrounds the Creed.
This song forms part of the Sacred Chamber Music Collection by Seventh Ribbon Music.
