Via Dolorosa (Sixth Hour)

Verse 1:
Down 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 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 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

Verse 2:
He was nailed unto the cross outside Jerusalem 
At the place of Skull where they lifted Him
Many scoffed and said
Let Him come down like He raised others from death
But all that Jesus did was to care for those around
His mother sent with John safe and sound
As for those who injured Him
He cried Father forgive their sin

Chorus:
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

Bridge:
The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men
Made its way to the heart of Jerusalem

Chorus:
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

Ending:
He walked that road 
For you and me
To Calvary
