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.
