Take him down, take him down   Move him gently, hold his head   Wipe his face, clean the blood off   Lay him here, wrap him in this cloth      Lift him up, lift him up   Move him easy, careful now   He's the Messiah      Tears are filling, eyes of sorrow   Hands are touching, no one's speaking   His eyes are empty, skin's so white   His body's cold, it has no life      He's the Messiah   He's the Messiah      Go! Into the world and tell   All of creation he lives   He lives in the hearts of men   He said, "Go! Into the world and tell   All of creation he lives   He lives in the hearts of men"      Dry your eyes, hold each other   Lift your thoughts, you are brothers   He's the Messiah      Don't be afraid, he has risen, he's not here   Why are you trembling with fear?   Just as he told you, just as he said   They could not stop him, he is not dead!      He's alive!
