Lyrics
Take him down, take him down
Initiating the process of taking someone down.
Move him gently, hold his head
Handling the person carefully, supporting the head.
Wipe his face, clean the blood off
Cleaning the blood from the face.
Lay him here, wrap him in this cloth
Placing the person on a surface and covering with cloth.
Lift him up, lift him up
Lifting the person gently and with care.
Move him easy, careful now
Moving the person cautiously.
He's the Messiah
Revealing the identity of the person as the Messiah.
Tears are filling, eyes of sorrow
Expressing emotions of sadness through tears.
Hands are touching, no one's speaking
People in close proximity but in silence.
His eyes are empty, skin's so white
Describing the lifeless appearance of the Messiah.
His body's cold, it has no life
Highlighting the lack of life in the Messiah's body.
He's the Messiah
Reiterating the identification of the person as the Messiah.
He's the Messiah
Emphasizing once again that he is the Messiah.
Go! Into the world and tell
Commanding to go and spread the message to the world.
All of creation he lives
Affirming that the Messiah lives in all of creation.
He lives in the hearts of men
Stating that he lives in the hearts of men.
He said, "Go! Into the world and tell
Repeating the command to go and proclaim his existence.
All of creation he lives
Reiterating that the Messiah lives in all of creation.
He lives in the hearts of men"
Reaffirming that he lives in the hearts of men.
Dry your eyes, hold each other
Encouraging emotional support and unity among people.
Lift your thoughts, you are brothers
Advising to elevate thoughts as brothers.
He's the Messiah
Reiterating the identification of the person as the Messiah.
Don't be afraid, he has risen, he's not here
Addressing fear and announcing the Messiah's resurrection.
Why are you trembling with fear?
Questioning the reason for trembling in fear.
Just as he told you, just as he said
Reminding of the Messiah's predictions and assurances.
They could not stop him, he is not dead!
Asserting the unstoppable nature of the Messiah and his survival.
He's alive!
Affirming the Messiah's resurrection and current state of being alive.
