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
