Em           Bm           C            
Down the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day
Em                     Bm               C
The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street
        Am                Em
But the crowd pressed in to see
B                            Em
A Man condemned to die on Calvary

Em                     Bm
He was bleeding from a beating,
C                     
There were stripes upon His back
Em                        D              C
And He wore a crown of thorns upon His head
    Am                  Em                 B
And He bore with every step the scorn of those
                  E7
who cried out for His death
          Am      B               Em       E7
Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Am                        B            Em   E
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King,
        Am                 B               Em      Bm      C
But He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me
         Em    Bm       C             B    Em Bm C
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary.
B                                  C
The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men
     D                              B    Em  E
made its way through the heart of Jerusalem.
