I Believe In One God

Singing the Creed is a central moment in the Sunday liturgy, and Celestine Okeke’s "I Believe In One God" brings a bright, rhythmic energy to this profession of faith. Rather than a solemn recitation, this English solfa setting transforms the core tenets of our belief into a joyful declaration. The choir and congregation are anchored by a catchy, repetitive refrain that praises the Father, Son, and Spirit, making the profound mysteries of the Trinity feel accessible and alive.

The verses walk step-by-step through salvation history, from the creation of heaven and earth to Christ’s incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection. Because the verses are structured with short, punchy lines that naturally invite a call-and-response feel with the refrain, the piece maintains a steady, engaging momentum all the way to the final "Amen." It is an excellent choice for the Creed after the homily, giving the whole church a chance to lift their voices together in a spirited, unified "I believe."
