It's the 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
There they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe
In the common judgment hall he was mocked and scorned by all
As the tears of sorrow fell upon His cheek
The Soldiers of the wicked men smote Him with their evil hands
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
There they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe
The 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 multitude then cried, "Let Him now be crucified."
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe
Oh they hung Him on the cross there He died for all the lost
He shed His precious blood for those in sin
But on the third day He arose, He lives today I surely know
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
There they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe
