It'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 of 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 of 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 of blood stained red
His raiment was a scarlet purple robe
