The Way Of Suffering

Down the Via Dolorosa 

In Jerusalem that day

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 Jerusalem

Las soldaldos le abrian paso a Jesus

Mas la gente se acercaba,

Para ver al que llevaba cruz

Por la Via Dolorosa  que es la via del dolor

Como oveja vino Cristo Rey v Senor

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.

Via Dolorosa
