I first heard this song in the fall of 1984 in a one man open air concert at Chico State University in Chico, California. The singer's name was Craig Smith. The song made a profound impression on me, and it's been a part of my repertoire ever since.

Thorns on His head,
A 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
Were standing here,
Face full of glory,
And eyes full of tears,
And He held out His arms
With His nail printed hands,
Is there any way
You could say no to this man?

How can you look in His tear stained eyes,
Knowing it's you He's thinking of?
And tell Him you're not ready
To give Him your life?
You say you don't think
That you need His love?

Jesus is here
With His arms open wide.
You could see Him with your heart
If you'd stop looking with your eyes.
It's left up to you,
He's done all he can.
Is there any way
You can say no to this man?

How can you look...

Thorns on His head,
Your life in His hands,
Is there any way
You can say no to this man?
Is there any way,
Is there any way,
Is there any way
You can say no to this man?
