#### SCARLET PURPLE

I

IT'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 IN HIM
THE MAN WHO WORE THE SCARLET PURPLE ROBE.

II

IN THE COMMON JUDGMENT HALL,
HE WAS MOCKED AND SCORNED BY ALL.
AND THE TEARS OF SORROW FELL UPON HIS CHEEK,
SOLDERS OF THE WICKED MAN SMOTE HIM WITH AN EVIL HAND.
THE MAN WHO WORE THE SCARLET PURPLE ROBE.

III

WORDS OF TRUTH THAT DAY WERE PLAIN,
FROM THE LIPS OF PILATE CAME.
IN THIS MAN I FIND NO REASON HE SHOULD DIE,
BUT THE MULTITUDE THEY CRIED,
LET HIM NOT BE CRUCIFIED.
THE MAN WHO WORE THE SCARLET PURPLE ROBE.

CHORUS

PURPLE ROBE MY SAVIOUR WORE,
OH THE SHAME FOR ME HE BORE,
AS HE STOOD ALONE FORSAKEN ON THAT DAY,
AND THEY PLACED UPON HIS HEAD PERCHING THORNS OF BLOOD STAINED RED.
HIS RAIMENT WAS THE SCARLET PURPLE ROBE.
