Judas is paid
And Jesus is betrayed
They take Him from Gethsemane
They take Him to the powers that be
And they say,
"Is this really true?
What they say about You,
Do You claim to be
The King of the Jews?"
And He says,
"It is as you say,"
So they take Him away
Put the purple robe on His back
Put the crown of thorns on His head
And they say,
"All hail the King of the Jews!"
Their mockeries proclaim the Good News
All hail the King of the Jews
He is the One that I choose
CHORUS
And when I see purple
I see the red my Savior bled for me
And when I see purple
I remember that He died to set me free
Oh when I see purple
I see the red my Jesus bleeds for me--dripping from the thorns
And when I see purple
I remember that He dies to set us free--after He adorns
The purple robe.
Peter is tried
And Jesus is denied
Three times he is identified
Three times he fails to testify
But who am I?
For I am guilty too
Many times this world has called me out
And I forget my God
And start to doubt--
--All I know--
Is that He died for me
On a cross at Calvary
And that He rose up on that Sunday morn
And that His sacrifice is worth all scorn
--I will face--
Pain and ridicule
Along this holy vestibule
But with God's Holy Fuel
I have the life spiritual
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Oh when I see purple I remember my
Precious Unblemished Redeemer Provided
Life Everlasting and it shines God's light on
The shadows the devil's been casting
[When I see]x4
CHORUS
