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 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 man,
He said...go into the world and tell all of creation he lives,
He lives in the hearts of man.

He's the Messiah,
He's the Messiah.

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 the Messiah,
He's the Messiah,
He's the Messiah, (he's alive)
He's the Messiah.

He's the Messiah.
