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 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, 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?
