Via Dolorosa

Down the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day,

and He the (Gm)soldiers tried to clear the narrow (Ebmaj7)street,

but the crowd pressed in to see the (Am7)man condemned to die on (D7)(Gm)Calvary.

(Ebmaj7)He was (Gm)bleeding from a beating,

there were (Ebmaj7)stripes upon His back,

and He the (Gm)wore a crown of thorns upon

His (Ebmaj7)head;

and He bore with ev'ry step the (Am7)scorn of those who cried out (D7)for His (Gm)death.

(Ebmaj7)He was (G)Down the (Cm)Via Dolorosa,

called "The (Gm)Way of Suffering," like a lamb came the Messiah,

Christ the King.

But He (Cm)chose to walk that road out of His (Gm)love for (Bbmaj7)you and (Ebmaj7)me;

down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to (Gm)Calvary.

(Ebmaj7)The blood that would cleanse the hearts of all men made its (F)way through the heart of (Gm)Jerusalem.

Down the ry.
