VIA DOLOROSA

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

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!

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

The Blood that would cleanse
The souls of all men
Made its way through the heart
Of Jerusalem!
