The Via Dolorosa: "The Painful Path"

Down the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street But the crowd pressed into 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 upon his head And He bore with every step The scorn of those of those 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 genta se acercaba, Para ver al que llevaba cruz. Por la Via Dolorosa, que es la via dolor Como oveja vino Cristo, Rey y Se??or Y fue El quien it 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.
