The Creeds I Adhere To

The first creed to my faith---
So none are in question about it later on---
Is the Athanasian creed.
Reading it for the first time in years
Was like waking up from a dream.
So many stupid thoughts run through Christianity today
And to see it concisely stated all that I believe
Nothing added, nothing lacking.

Second is the Nicene Creed.
The most beloved verse is that 
Jesus descended into Hell.
For, if Jesus did not descend,
Then why make him ascend?
"It is finished" is the Hebraic covenant.
Nothing more. All is accomplished at the cross.

Thirdly, I believe in the Apostles Creed.
The most simple version of my faith,
The cant is among the most beautiful poetry
In the Liturgical English.
Like the LORD's Prayer
It feels right---because it is right.

This is my Christianity. 
Let no one question it
Because it is the Christianity of Christ
And His true church.
