X. Credo - 5. Trope: “I Believe in God”

[THREE SOLOS AND STREET Chorus]
Amen! Amen! Amen!

[ROCK SINGER]
Amen! Amen! Amen!
I believe in God
But does God believe in me?
I’ll believe in any god
If any god there be
That’s a pact
Shake on that
No taking back
I believe in one God
But then I believe in three
I’ll believe in twenty gods
If they’ll believe in me
That’s a pact
Shake on that
No taking back
Who created my life?
Madе me come to be?
Who accеpts this awful
Responsibility?
Is there someone out there?
If there is, then who?
Are you list’ning to this song
I’m singing just for you?
I believe my singing
Do you believe it too?
I believe each note I sing
But is it getting through?
I believe in F sharp
I believe in G
But does it mean a thing to you
Or should I change my key?
How do you like A-flat?
Do you believe in C?

[CHOIR]
Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub …

[ROCK SINGER]
Do you believe in anything
That has to do with me?

[STREET Chorus]
I believe in God
But does God believe in me?
I’ll believe in thirty gods
If they’ll believe in me
That’s a pact
Shake on that
No taking back

[ROCK SINGER]
I’ll believe in sugar and spice
I’ll believe in ev’rything nice;
I’ll believe in you and you and you
And who …
Who’ll believe in me?

[CELEBRANT] (speaking)
Let us pray
Let us pray!
