[Verse]
CThere's a story so unkind in the FHoly book we Cfind
And it tells how Jesus stood alone one G7day
False Caccused and there condemned yet they Ffound no fault with CHim
The man who wore the G7scarlet purple Crobe
[Chorus]
CPurple robe my Savior wore oh the Fshame for me he Cbore
As He stood alone, forsaken on that G7day
And they Cplaced upon His head piercing Fthorns and blood stained Cred
His raiment was a G7scarlet purple Crobe
[Verse]
CIn the common judgment hall he was Fmocked and scorned by Call
And a tear of sorrow fell upon His G7cheek
Soldiers Cof the wicked man smote FHim with their evil Chand
The Man who wore the G7scarlet purple Crobe
[Chorus]
CPurple robe my Savior wore oh the Fshame for me he Cbore
As He stood alone, forsaken on that G7day
And they Cplaced upon His head piercing Fthorns and blood stained Cred
His raiment was a G7scarlet purple Crobe
[Verse]
CWords of truth that day were plain Ffrom the lips of Pilate Ccame
In this man I find no reason He should G7die
But the Cmultitudes replied let FHim now be Ccrucified
The man who wore the G7scarlet purple Crobe
[Chorus]
CPurple robe my Savior wore oh the Fshame for me he Cbore
As He stood alone, forsaken on that G7day
And they Cplaced upon His head piercing Fthorns and blood stained Cred
His raiment was a G7scarlet purple Crobe
[Outro]
COh the River Of Jordan Fis many miles Caway
And this mighty river I may never G7see
But I'll Cfind myself an alter in an Fold fashioned Cchurch
And my River Of G7Jordan that will Cbe
