The Messiah

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!
