I Believe In God

"I Believe In God" is a vibrant, call-and-response setting of the Apostles' Creed that transforms the profession of faith into a dynamic dialogue. Written with a driving solfa melody, the piece places the narrative of salvation in the hands of a tenor or baritone soloist. After every line of the Creed—from the creation of heaven and earth to the resurrection of the dead—the soloist asks the probing question, "do you believe?"

The choir answers with a resolute "I believe," anchoring the congregation before sweeping back into the joyful, full-voiced chorus. This interactive structure makes the song especially fitting for the renewal of baptismal promises, Easter Sunday Masses, or any liturgy where the Creed is sung with special vigor. It takes the familiar words of the Church and breathes a lively, communal energy into them, reminding every singer in the loft and the pews that faith is a shared, active commitment.
