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
Calviro 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.
