This song has been running through my head...

How Can You Say No

Words and Music: Mickey Cates © 1981 Straightaway Music (ASCAP)

Lyrics:

Thorns on His head, spear in His side
Yet it was a heartache that made Him cry
He gave His life so you would understand
Is there any way you could say no to this Man?

If Christ Himself (standing here)
Were standing here (glory in His face)
Face full of glory and eyes full of tears (eyes, hold out His arms)
He'd hold out His arms with His nail-printed hands (nail scarred hands, how could you say no)
Is there any way you could say no to this Man?

Chorus:
How could you look in His tear-stained eyes
Knowing it's you He's thinking of?
Would you tell Him you're not ready to give Him your life?
Could you say you don't think you need His love?

Jesus is here with His arms open wide
You can see Him with your heart if you'll stop looking with your eyes
He's left it up to you, He's done all He can
Is there any way you could say no to this Man?

Repeat Chorus (with echoes) (x2)

Thorns on His head, your life is in His hands
Is there any way you could say no to this Man?

Oh, is there any way you could say no to this Man?

Scriptural Reference:

"And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you." Romans 8:11
