Via Dolorosa

by Sandy Patti

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 saldados 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 Cristo, 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 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.
