High Lonesome Credo
Traditional Mass Text (paraphrased)
CHORUS
We believe in God the Father.
We believe in Christ the Son;
We believe in the Holy Ghost
One in three and three in one.
We believe that God created all that is,
seen and unseen, all is his;
We believe in Christ, God’s only son,
God of God, light of light, from heaven come.
CHORUS
Born of blessed Mary Christ became a man,
Suffered under Pilate, died and rose again;
Sent the Holy Spirit to the Bride of Christ,
Spoke by the prophets, gives his church life.
CHORUS
We believe one Holy Church and one baptism for our sins,
The dead will rise to the life eternal,
The redeemed will live with him.
