Credo

I believe firmly, Lord
That from Your prodigal mind
All this world was born
That from your hand of artist
Of primitive painter
Beauty flourished
The stars and the moon
The little houses and the lagoons
The boats sailing
On the river, heading to the sea

The immense coffee plantations
The white cotton fields
And the forests mutilated
By the criminal axe
The immense coffee plantations
The white cotton fields
And the forests mutilated
By the criminal axe

I believe in You, architect, engineer
Craftsman, carpenter, bricklayer, and shipbuilder
I believe in You, builder of thought
Of music and wind, of peace and love

I believe in You, Worker Christ
Light of light and true only begotten of God
Who to save the world
In the humble and pure womb of Mary was incarnated
I believe you were beaten, tortured with scorn
Martyred on the cross, being Pilate the Prefect
The imperialist Roman, damn and heartless
Who washing his hands, wanted to erase the mistake
The imperialist Roman, damn and heartless
Who washing his hands, wanted to erase the mistake

I believe in You, architect, engineer
Craftsman, carpenter, bricklayer, and shipbuilder
I believe in You, builder of thought
Of music and wind, of peace and love

I believe in You, companion
Human Christ, Worker Christ, victor over death
With immense sacrifice, you engendered the new man
For liberation
You are resurrecting, in every raised arm
To defend the people from the exploitative domain
Because you are alive in the ranch, in the factory, in the school
I believe in your relentless struggle, I believe in your resurrection
Because you are alive in the ranch, in the factory, in the school
I believe in your relentless struggle, I believe in your resurrection

I believe in You, architect, engineer
Craftsman, carpenter, bricklayer, and shipbuilder
I believe in You, builder of thought
Of music and wind, of peace and love

I believe in You, architect, engineer
Craftsman, carpenter, bricklayer, and shipbuilder
I believe in You, builder of thought
Of music and wind, of peace and love
I believe in You, builder of thought
Of music and wind, of peace and love
