Via Dolorosa
Words & Music by Billy Sprague and Niles BoropDown 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 CalvaryHe 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 deathDown the Via 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.
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 cruzPor 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 morirThe 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
And He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary.
