Some Christians have expressed the view that this stanza should be omitted because it suggests that the Jews killed Jesus. For example, a prominent Quaker publication stated that although "Lord of the Dance" is "one of our most popular and widely sung" modern hymns, this particular stanza should not be sung, because "[e]ach time we sing this verse together we lend emotional power and the appearance of support for what is in fact a lie". However, a response in the same publication noted that while "the holy people" happened to be Jewish in the particular case of Jesus, a "larger and more meaningful interpretation" of the phrase is to identify it with "those who consider themselves the most righteous" at any time and place, and of any ethnicity. The hymn "has been taken up widely throughout the Christian Church"
