The Via Dolorosa

Down the Via Dolorosa

In Jerusalem that day

The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street.

But the crowds pressed in to see

The man condemned to die

On Calvary

He was bleeding from a beating

There were stripes upon his back

And he wore a crown of thorns

Upon his head

But he bore with every step

The scorn of those who cried

Out for his death.

Down the Via Dolorosa

Called the Way of Suffering

Like a lamb, came the Messiah

Christ the King.

And he chose to walk that road

Out of his love

For you and

For me.

Down the Via Dolorosa

All the way

To Calvary

The blood that would cleanse

The souls of all men

Made its way to the heart

Of Jerusalem!

Down the Via Dolorosa

Called the Way of Suffering

Like a lamb, came the Messiah

Christ the King.

And he chose to walk that road

Out of his love

For you and

For me.

Down the Via Dolorosa

All the way

To Calvary
