[Verse]
C F C
There's a story so unkind in the Holy book we find
G7
And it tells how Jesus stood alone one day
C F C
False accused and there condemned yet they found no fault with Him
G7 C
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe
[Chorus]
C F C
Purple robe my Savior wore oh the shame for me he bore
G7
As He stood alone, forsaken on that day
C F C
And they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red
G7 C
His raiment was a scarlet purple robe
[Verse]
C F C
In the common judgment hall he was mocked and scorned by all
G7
And a tear of sorrow fell upon His cheek
C F C
Soldiers of the wicked man smote Him with their evil hand
G7 C
The Man who wore the scarlet purple robe
[Chorus]
C F C
Purple robe my Savior wore oh the shame for me he bore
G7
As He stood alone, forsaken on that day
C F C
And they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red
G7 C
His raiment was a scarlet purple robe
[Verse]
C F C
Words of truth that day were plain from the lips of Pilate came
G7
In this man I find no reason He should die
C F C
But the multitudes replied let Him now be crucified
G7 C
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe
[Chorus]
C F C
Purple robe my Savior wore oh the shame for me he bore
G7
As He stood alone, forsaken on that day
C F C
And they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red
G7 C
His raiment was a scarlet purple robe
[Outro]
C F C
Oh the River Of Jordan is many miles away
G7
And this mighty river I may never see
C F C
But I'll find myself an alter in an old fashioned church
G7 C
And my River Of Jordan that will be
