They thought that when they cut Him down

His flame would flicker out

And not a soul would know

What all the fuss was all about

"He's just another teacher

A fallen human creature

He'll fade away like ashes in the wind"

But then He rose again

There is no denying my Jesus

He wants to know you

Do you hear Him calling?

You may choose to stay or walk away

But still you must decide

For Jesus cannot be denied

I've read the wisdom

Of the world's philosophies of man

What all the greatest earthly minds

Have tried to understand

(They can't understand)

But none of human history

Can answer life's true mystery

That sin corrupts and freedom has a price

A holy sacrifice, oh...

There is no denying my Jesus

He wants to know you

Can't you hear Him calling?

You may choose to stay or walk away

But still you must decide

For Jesus cannot be denied

Someday, I'll stand before His throne

And He'll call my name

As they read the book of life

The saints will praise His glory

While the angels tell His story

And all the world will finally see

(They will finally see)

That there is no denying my Jesus

He wants to know you

I know you hear Him calling

You may choose to stay or walk away

But still you must decide

'Cause Jesus, He cannot be denied

You may choose to stay, but don't walk away

But still you must decide, hallelujah

For Jesus, my Jesus, cannot be denied
