I BELIEVE IN GOD

"I Believe In God" is a vibrant, rhythmic setting of the Nicene Creed composed by Jude Nnam. Written entirely in English, it transforms the traditional profession of faith into an engaging choral proclamation. The piece is structured with a recurring refrain—"I believe in one God the Father Almighty"—allowing the congregation to anchor themselves in the core statement of belief while the choir walks through the mysteries of Christ's life, the Holy Spirit, and the Church in the verses.

In the context of the Mass, this setting is sung after the homily during the Liturgy of the Word. Its driving solfa rhythm and distinct bass entries give it a uniquely Nigerian Catholic flavor, keeping the lengthy text of the Creed moving with energy and purpose. Choirs appreciate how the familiar articles of faith are broken into manageable, melodic sections, making the solemn declaration feel both personal and joyfully communal.
