The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street
But the crowd pressed into 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 Jerusalen
Los soldaldos le abrian paso a Jesus Mas la genta se acercaba,
Para ver al que llevaba aquella cruz.
Por la Via Dolorosa, que es la via dolor
Como oveja vino Cristo, Rey y Senoor
Y fue El quien ir por su amor por ti por mi
Por la Via Dolorosa al Calvario y a morir.
The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men
Made its way through 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
