Down the Vía 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 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 Vía 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 Vía Dolorosa
All the way to Calvary.
Por la Vía Dolorosa,
Triste día en Jerusalén,
Los soldados le abrían paso a Jesús.
Más la gente se acercaba
Para ver al que llevaba aquella cruz.
Chorus:
Por la Vía Dolorosa
Que es la vía del dolor,
Como oveja vino Cristo,
Rey y Señor.
Y fue Él quien quiso ir
Por su amor por ti y por mí
Por la Vía Dolorosa
Al Calvario y a morir.
The blood that would cleanse
The souls of all men
Made its way to the heart of Jerusalem.
Chorus:
Down the Vía 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 Vía Dolorosa
All the way to Calvary.
