Sunday Morning Mountain Gospel Music 46

Scarlet Purple Robe
Sung by the Lewis Family, known as the "First Family of Bluegrass Gospel".




Scarlet Purple Robe

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 in 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 of blood stained red
   His raiment was a scarlet purple robe

In the common judgment hall our blessed Savior was mocked  by all
And a tear of sorrow fell upon His cheek
Soldiers of those wicked man smote Him with their evil hand
This 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 of blood stained red
   His raiment was a 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

  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 of blood stained red
   His raiment was a scarlet purple robe

  His raiment was a scarlet purple robe
