CHORUS :
PURPLE ROBE MY SAVIOR WORE
OH THE SHAME FOR ME HE BORE
AS HE STOOD ALONE FORSAKEN ON THAT DAY
AND THEY PLACED UPON HIS HEAD
PIERCING THORNS OF BLOOD STAIN RED
HIS RAIMENT WAS A SCARLET PURPLE ROBE
VERSE 1:
TIS 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 WHO WORE
THE SCARLET PURPLE ROBE
VERSE 2:
IN A COMMON JUDGMENT HALL
HE WAS MOCKED AND SCORNED BY ALL
AND THE TEARS OF SORROW
FELL UPON HIS CHEEKS
SOLDIERS OF THE WICKED BAND
SMOTE HIM WITH THEIR EVIL HAND
THE MAN WHO WORE
THE SCARLET PURPLE ROBE
VERSE 3:
WORDS OF TRUTH THAT DAY DID RING
FROM THE LIPS OF PILOT CAME
IN THIS MAN I FIND
NO REASON HE SHOULD DIE
BUT THE MULTITUDE THEN CRIED
LET HIM BE CRUCIFIED
THE MAN WHO WORE
THE SCARLET PURPLE ROBE
