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
