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
|
|
Oh the River Of Jordan is many miles away
|
And this mighty river I may never see
|
But I'll find myself an alter in an old fashioned church
|
And my River Of Jordan that will be
|
