[Verse]

             
There's a stor

              
y so unkind in

             
 the Holy book

    
 we find
              
And it tells h

              
ow Jesus stood

           
 alone one day
             
False accused 

              
and there cond

              
emned yet they

             
 found no faul

       
t with Him
              
The man who wo

            
re the scarlet

        
 purple robe


[Chorus]

             
Purple robe my

As He stood al

              
one, forsaken 

        
on that day
             
And they place

[Verse]

             
In the common 

              
judgment hall 

             
he was mocked 

              
and scorned by

 
 all
              
And a tear of 

              
sorrow fell up

       
on His cheek
             
Soldiers of th

              
e wicked man s

[Verse]

             
Words of truth

In this man I

But the multit
