How can you refuse him 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 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

[ steel ]
As he hung there on the tree he prayed for you and me
There was no one his pain to ease
But before he died he raised his head and cried
Father forgive them please

How can you refuse him now...
Oh how can you refuse Jesus now
