Via Dolorosa Songtext / Lyric

Down the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day

The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street

But the crowd pressed in to see

A 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 Vía Dolorosa, triste día en Jerusalén

Los soldados le abrían paso a Jesús

Mas la gente se acercaba

Para ver al que llevaba aquella cruz



Por la Vía Dolorosa, que es la vía del dolor

Como oveja vino Cristo, Rey, Señor

Y fué El quien quiso ir por su amor por tí y por mí

Por la Vía 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.
