Shane & Shane's 'This I Believe' is a modern musical setting of the Apostles' Creed, declaring core Christian doctrines from creation to the return of Christ. The song affirms belief in God the Father, Jesus's virgin birth, crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, and future judgment, as well as the Holy Spirit, the church, forgiveness of sins, and eternal life. The repeated refrain emphasizes that this faith is not human invention but divine truth that shapes the believer's identity. It serves as a corporate confession of faith, grounding listeners in the historic foundations of Christianity.

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
And I believe what I believe
It's what makes me what I am
I did not make it, no, it is making me
It is the very truth of God, not the invention of any man
I believe that He who suffered
Was crucified, buried and dead
He descended into hell
And on the third day 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
And I believe what I believe
It's what makes me what I am
I did not make it, no, it is making me
It is the very truth of God, not the invention of any man
I believe it, I believe it
I believe it
I believe it, I believe it
I believe in God the Father
Almighty Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth
And in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son our Lord
I believe in the Holy Spirit
One Holy Church
The communion of Saints
The forgiveness of sin
I believe in the resurrection
I believe in a life that never ends
And I believe what I believe
It's what makes me what I am
I did not make it, no, it is making me
I did not make it, no, it is making me
I said I did not make it, no, it is making me
It is the very truth of God, not the invention of any man
I believe it, I believe
I believe it, I believe
I believe it, I believe it
I believe it, I believe it
I believe it, I believe it
I believe it
