How can you refuse him now, how can you refuse him now
How can you turn away from his side
With tears in his eyes on the cross there He died
How can you refuse Jesus now?

There's a story old, that has often been told
Of how our Savior dies as they nailed his hands
He cried they don't understand
As the blood flowed from his side.

How can you refuse him now, how can you refuse him now
How can you turn away from his side
With tears in his eyes on the cross there He died
How can you refuse Jesus now?

As He hung there on the tree he prayed for you and me
There was no one his pain to ease
Before he died he faintly cried
Father forgive them please.

How can you refuse him now, how can you refuse him now
How can you turn away from his side
With tears in his eyes on the cross there He died
How can you refuse Jesus now?...
