Purple Robe

C                                
There's a story so unkind in the 
F            C
Holy book we find
And it tells how Jesus stood alone 
    G7
one day
      C                          
False accused and there condemned 
          F                   C
yet they found no fault with Him
                     G7            
The man who wore the scarlet purple
 C
 robe


[Chorus]

C                                 
Purple robe my Savior wore oh the 
F               C
shame for me he bore
As He stood alone, forsaken on that 
G7
day
         C                   
And they placed upon His head 
          F                      
piercing thorns and blood stained 
  C
red
                  G7            
His raiment was a scarlet purple 
 C
robe


[Verse]

C                                  
In the common judgment hall he was 
F                     C
mocked and scorned by all
And a tear of sorrow fell upon His 
G7
cheek

         C                       F
Soldiers of the wicked man smote 
                   C
Him with their evil hand
                     G7            
The Man who wore the scarlet purple
 C
 robe


[Chorus]

C                                 
Purple robe my Savior wore oh the

C                                  
Words of truth that day were plain 
F                      C
from the lips of Pilate came
In this man I find no reason He 
       G7
should die
        C                      F  
But the multitudes replied let Him
        C
 now be crucified
                     G7            
The man who wore the scarlet purple
 C
 robe


[Chorus]

C                                 
Purple robe my Savior wore oh the 
F               C
shame for me he bore
As He stood alone, forsaken on that 
G7
day
         C                   
And they placed upon His head 
          F                      
piercing thorns and blood stained 
  C
red
                  G7            
His raiment was a scarlet purple

C                      F         
Oh the River Of Jordan is many 
    C
miles away
And this mighty river I may never 
G7
see
         C                         
But I'll find myself an alter in an
 F             C
 old fashioned church
                G7               C
And my River Of Jordan that will be
