I have to hand it to Phil Wickham who recorded a Apostle Creed type song that mentions The Holy Trinity in 2023!:
“I believe there is one salvation
One doorway that leads to life
One redemption, one confession
I believe in the name of Jesus Christ, hey
I believe in the crucifixion
By His blood, I have been set free
I believe in the resurrection
Hallelujah, His life is death's defeat
All praise to God the Father
All praise to Christ the Son
All praise to the Holy Spirit
Our God has overcome
The King who was and is and evermore will be
In Jesus mighty name, I believe
I believe, I believe
I believe in the hope of Heaven
He's preparing a place for me
Far beyond what hearts imagine
Ears have heard or eyes have seen
I believe that a day is coming
He's returning to claim His bride
Light the altar, keep it burning
See the Lamb who rose a roaring Lion
All praise to God the Father
All praise to Christ the Son
All praise to the Holy Spirit
Our God has overcome
The King who was and is and evermore will be
In Jesus mighty name, I believe
Oh, I believe in You
No, I'll never be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ
How could I ever walk away from the One who saved my life?
No, I'll never be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ
How could I ever walk away from the One who saved my life?
Oh, no, I'll never be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ
How could I ever walk away from the One who saved my life?
All praise to God the Father (to the Lord, I praise)
All praise to Christ the Son (to Christ the Son)
All praise to the Holy Spirit
Our God has overcome
The King who was and is and evermore will be
In Jesus mighty name, I believe
And all praise to God Our Father
All praise to Christ the Son
All praise to the Holy Spirit
Our God has overcome
The King who was and is and evermore will be
In Jesus mighty name, I believe
In Jesus mighty name, I believe
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe.”

So few songs invoke the full Godhead of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit despite that Jesus Himself said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20). The most notable other artists to do very catchy Trinity Creed songs is the Newer Newsboys who did “We Believe” in 2013:
“In this time of desperation
When all we know is doubt and fear
There is only one foundation
We believe
We believe
In this broken generation
When all is dark, You help us see
There is only one salvation
We believe
We believe
We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And He's given us new life
We believe in the crucifixion
We believe that He conquered death
We believe in the resurrection
And He's comin' back again
We believe
So, let our faith be more than anthems
Greater than the songs we sing
And in our weakness and temptations
We believe
We believe
We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And He's given us new life
We believe in the crucifixion
We believe that He conquered death
We believe in the resurrection
And He's comin' back again
Let the lost be found and the dead be raised
In the here and now, let love invade
Let the church live loud, our God, we'll say
"We believe, we believe"
And the gates of hell will not prevail
For the power of God has torn the veil
Now we know Your love will never fail
We believe, we believe
We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And He's given us new life
We believe in the crucifixion
We believe that He conquered death
We believe in the resurrection
And He's comin' back
He's comin' back again
He's comin' back again
We believe
We believe.”

And Rich Mullins who took the Apostle’s Creed and applied some chorus in 1986:
“I believe in God the Father
Almighty Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth
And in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, our Lord
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit
Born of the virgin Mary
Suffered under Pontius Pilate
He was crucified and dead and buried
And I believe what I believe is what makes me what I am
I did not make it, no it is making me
It is the very truth of God and not the invention of any man
I believe that He who suffered was crucified, buried, and dead
He descended into hell and on the third day, rose again
He ascended into Heaven where He sits at God's mighty right hand
I believe that He's returning
To judge the quick and the dead of the sons of men
And I believe what I believe is what makes me what I am
I did not make it, no it is making me
It is the very truth of God and not the invention of any man
I believe it, I believe it
I believe it
I believe it, I believe it
I believe in God the Father
Almighty Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth
And in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, our Lord
I believe in the Holy Spirit
One Holy Church
The communion of Saints
The forgiveness of sin
I believe in the resurrection
I believe in a life that never ends
And I believe what I believe is what makes me what I am
I did not make it, no it is making me
I did not make it, no it is making me
I said I did not make it, no it is making me
It is the very truth of God and not the invention of any man
I believe it, I believe it
I believe it, I believe
I believe it, believe it
I believe it, I believe it
I believe it, I believe it
I believe it.”

I believe there was perhaps a Tomlin one, but Phil Wickham is latest to finally sing praises to Holy Trinity! Which thrills me because The Nature of God who is One God in Three Persons is who He is. I am so thankful Wickham decided to make a newer song that praises God The Father, The Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit! Amen.
