Scarlet Purple Robe Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

There'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 and 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 

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
