【Via Dolorosa】

[ Via Dolorosa ]
Verse 1
Down the Via Dolorosa
In Jerusalem that day
The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street.
But the crowd pressed in to see
The Man condemned to die on Calvary.

Verse 2
He was bleeding from a beating.
There were stripes upon His back
And He wore a 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.
