The Scarlet Purple Robe

There's a story so unkind

In the Holy book we find

And it tells how Jesus stood alone one day

False accused and there condemned

Yet they found no fault in Him

The man that wore the scarlet purple robe

Purple robe my Savior wore

All the shame for me He bore

As He stood alone, forsaken on that day

And they placed upon His head

Piercing thorns of blood stained red

His raiment was a scarlet purple robe

In a common judgment hall

He was mocked and scorned by all

As a tear of sorrow fell upon His face

Soldiers of the wicked band

Smote Him with their evil hand

The man that wore the scarlet purple robe

Purple robe my Savior wore

All the shame for me He bore

As He stood alone, forsaken on that day

And they placed upon His head

Piercing thorns of blood stained red

His raiment was a scarlet purple robe

Words of truth that day were plain

From the lips of Pilate came

In this man, I find no reason He should die

But the multitudes still cried

Let Him now be crucified

The man that wore the scarlet purple robe

Purple robe my Savior wore

All the shame for me He bore

As He stood alone, forsaken on that day

And they placed upon His head

Piercing thorns of blood stained red

His raiment was a scarlet purple robe

Yes, Jesus wore that scarlet purple robe
