Via Dolorosa Lyrics
Down the Via Dolorosa
In Jerusalem that day,
The soldiers tried to clear
The narrow streets,
But the crowd 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 crown of thorns
Upon His head.
And He bore with every step
The scorn of those
who cried out for His death
Chorus:
Down the Via Dolorosa
Called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah,
Christ the King.
But He chose to walk that road
Out of His love for you and me.
Down the Via Dolorosa
All the way, to Calvary.
Bridge:
The blood that would cleanse
The souls of all men
Made its way through the heart
Of Jerusalem
