Here is the creed that we used
Lord I believe firmly
That all this world was born of Your abundantly generous mind
That from Your artists hands like a primitivista painter
Beauty flowered
The stars and the moon, the houses and lagoons
The little boats sailing on the river to the seaThe coffee plantations, the white cotton fields
And the forests now mutiliated by the criminal axeI believe in You, architect, engineer
Craftsperson, carpenter, construction labourer, fitter
I believe in You, constructor of thoughts
Of music and the wind, of peace and loveI believe in You Labourer Christ,
Light of light and truth
One with God
Who to save the world
Was born of the humble and pure womb of Mary
Who was beaten, mocked, tortured
Was martyred on the cross
Suffered under Pilate
The Roman imperialist
Who thought he could erase his responsibility by washing his handsI believe in You, companion
Human Christ, labourer Christ
Conquerer of death with immense sacrifice
Liberator of humanityThe Lord is resurrecting in every arm raised
To defend the people
Against the demons of exploitationBecause You are alive - on the cattle ranch
In the factory, in the school
I believe in Your tireless struggle
I believe in Your resurrection
I believe in You, architect, engineer
Craftsperson, carpenter, construction labourer, fitter
I believe in You, constructor of thoughts
Of music and the wind, of peace and loveFrom the Misa Campesina, Carlos Mejia Godoy with members of the Taller de Sonido Popular, Solentiname
And the music we used can be found here, the words were on the slides used in the service and can be seen in the video above.
