Purple Robe

Purple Robe - The Stanley Brothers

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 with Him

The man who wore the scarlet purple robe

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

And blood stained red

His raiment was a scarlet purple robe

In the common judgment hall he was mocked and scorned by all

And a tear of sorrow fell upon His cheek

Soldiers of the wicked man smote Him with their evil hand

The Man who wore the scarlet purple robe

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 and blood stained red

His raiment was a scarlet purple robe

Words of truth that day were plain

From the lips of Pilot came

In this man I find no reason He should die

But the multitudes replied let Him now be crucified

The man who wore the scarlet purple robe

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 and blood stained red

His raiment was a scarlet purple robe
