DOWN THE VIA DOLOROSA IN JERUSALEM THAT DAY
THE SOLDIERS TRIED TO CLEAR THE NARROW STREETS
BUT THE CROWD PRESSED IN TO SEE
THE MAN CONDEMNED TO DIE ON CALVARY

HE WAS BLEEDING FROM A BEATING,
THERE WERE SCARS 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 DOWN MESSIAH, CHRIST THE KING
BUT HE CHOSE TO WALK THAT WAY 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 SOLDADOS LE ABRIAN PASOA JESUS
MAS LA GENTE SE ACERCABA
PARA VER AL QUE BEVABA AQUELLA CRUZ

POR LA VIA DOLOROSA QUE ES LA VIA DEL DOLOR
COMO OVEJA VINO CHRISTO, REI, SENOR
Y FUE EL QUEN QUISO IR POR SU AMOR, POR TI Y POR MI
POR LA VIA DOLOROSA AL CALVARIO Y A MORIR

THE BLOOD THAT WOULD CLEANSE THE SOULS OF ALL MEN
MADE IT'S WAY THROUGH THE HEART OF JERUSALEM

DOWN THE VIA DOLOROSA, CALLED THE WAY OF SUFFERING
LIKE A LAMB CAME DOWN MESSIAH, CHRIST THE KING
BUT HE CHOSE TO WALK THAT WAY OUT OF HIS LOVE, FOR YOU AND ME
DOWN THE VIA DOLOROSA, ALL THE WAY TO CALVARY
