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.
Por la Via Dolorosa
Triste dia en Jerusalem
Los soldados le abrian paso a Jesus
Mas la gente se acercaba Para ver al que llevaba aquella cruz.
Por la Via Dolorosa que es la via del dolor
Como oveja vino Christo, Rey Senor.
Y fue El quien quiso ir por su amor por ti y por mi
Por la Via Dolorosa al Calvario y a morir.
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.
But He chose to walk that road Out of his love for you and me.
Down the Via Dolorosa all the way to Calvary.
