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 Saviour died

As they nailed his hands he cried they don't understand

As the blood flowed from his side

How can you refuse him now...

[ steel ]

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 oh father forgive them please

How can you refuse him now...
