Down the Vía Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day
The soldiers tried to clear the narrow streets
But a crowd pressed in to see
A Man condemned to die on Calvary
He was bleeding from that 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 cry out for His death
Chorus:
Down the Vía Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King
And He chose to walk that road
Out of His love for you and me (for you, for me)
Down the Vía Dolorosa all the way to Calvary (all the way to Calvary)
Por la Vía Dolorosa,
Triste día en Jerusalén
Los saldádos le abrían paso a Jesús
Mas la gente se acercaba
Para ver al que llevaba aquella cruz
El sengraba por la espalda cruel castigo recibió
Fue de espinas la corona que llevó
Y sufrió más al saber
Que su muerte esa gente ibe a pedir
Por la Vía Dolorosa que es la vía del dolor
Como oveja vino Cristo, Rey, Señor
Y fue él quien quiso ir
Por su amor por ti y por mí (for you, for me)
Por la Vía Dolorosa al Calvario y a morir (all the way to Calvary)
The blood that will cleanse the souls of all men made its way through the heart of Jerusalem (oh, the blood, cleanse the souls, made its way through the heart of Jerusalem)
Repeat Chorus
All the way to Calvary
Scriptural Reference:
"As they led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him." Luke 23:26-27
