A Creed

You are the God who calls me to draw near:
Creating Father, whose fingers formed all that I see
and the things that are invisible.
You spoke and all things came to be.
My faith is in You.

You are the God who came down to save:
Jesus Christ the Son, from whose virgin-born hands
Nails drew guiltless blood –
You, who saw a morning of resurrection power,
My trust is in You.

You are the God who makes a home within my heart:
Holy Spirit, leading me into all truth
And calling me onward in faith.
You are the guarantee of all that has been promised.
My hope is in You.

Father, Son, and Spirit:
One God, in three persons.
Let my life be a canvas
On which you paint
Your masterpiece of joy and glory.
I believe in You.
