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 where he died,
How can you refuse Jesus now.

As he hung there on the tree, he prayed for you prayed for 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 where he died,
How can you refuse Jesus now.
