A Purple Robe

Hi all. Here's just a little song for you to ponder over what Christ has done for us on the cross at Calvary. For Christian brethren, take time to reflect and remember His death on the cross, and for those outside the kingdom of God, this is what Christ has done for you.

A purple robe, a crown of thorns,

A reed in His right hand;
Before the soldiers' spite and scorn
I see my Saviour stand.
He bears between the Roman guards
The weight of all our woe;
A stumbling figure bowed and scarred
I see my Saviour go.
Fast to the cross' spreading span,
High in the sunlit air,
All the unnumbered sins of man
I see my Saviour bear.

He hangs, by whom the world was made,
Beneath the darkened sky;
The everlasting ransom paid,
I see my Saviour die.
He shares on high His Father's throne,
Who once in mercy came;
For all His love to sinners shown,
I sing my Saviour's name.

In Christ,
Timo
