Verse 1
Down the Via Dolo-rosa in Je-rusalem that day
The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street
But the crowd pressed in to see the Man condemned to die on Calva-ry
Verse 2
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
Chorus
Down the Via Dolo-rosa 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 Dolo-rosa, all the way to Calvary
Bridge
The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men
Made its way through the heart of Je-ru-sa-lem
