PURPLE ROBE


Verse 1: G C G
It's a story so unkind in the Holy Book we find,
D
And it tells how Jesus stood alone one day.
G
False accused and there condemned,
C G
Yet they found no fault with Him.
D G
The man who wore the Scarlet Purple Robe.
Chorus:
G C G
Purple Robe my Savior wore,oh the shame for me He bore,
D
as He stood alone forsaken, on that day.
G C
And they placed upon His head, piercing thorns
G
of blood stained red.
D G
His raiment's was a Scarlet Purple Robe.
Verse 2:
G C
In the common judgement hall, He was mocked
G
and scorned by all.
D
And the tears of sorrow fell upon His cheek,
G C G
Soldiers of the wicked man, smote Him with their evil hand
D G
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe.
Verse 3:
G C G
Words of truth,that day was plain,from the lips of Pilate came.
D
In this man, I find no reason He should die.
G C G
But the multitude then cried,"Let Him now be crucified,"
D G
The Man who wore the Scarlet Purple Robe.
