The Messiah

Bloodgood

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!
