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
Bridge
The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men
Made its way to the heart of Jerusalem; 7 Statements of Jesus from the Cross
1. My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?
2. I thirst.
3. Father forgive them. They don’t know what they do.
4. Behold this woman. Woman, behold thy son.
5. Truly, I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.
6. It is finished.
7. Father, into your hands, I commit my spirit. Jesus is the bridge that crosses the great divide between God and man. @SongofGrace @OneJoyfulNoise
