Third Day's song "Creed" is a musical setting of the Apostles' Creed, a historic statement of Christian faith. The lyrics affirm belief in God the Father, Jesus Christ's virgin birth, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, as well as the Holy Spirit, the church, forgiveness of sins, and eternal life. The chorus emphasizes that this faith shapes the believer's identity and is rooted in divine truth rather than human invention. The song serves as a declaration of core Christian doctrines, inviting listeners to affirm their own faith.

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 Spirt,
born of the virgin Mary.
Suffered under Pontius Pilot
where he was crucified dead and buried.
[Chorus:]
And I believe what I believe in
is what makes me what I am.
And I did not make it,
no it is making me
It is the very truth of God
and 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 He 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.
I believe it, 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 int 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.
