 VIA DOLOROSA The sign reads Via Dolorosa  You can see the narrowness of the street. VIA DOLOROSA (way of sorrows) - the traditional route taken by our Lord Jesus on His way from Pilate's judgment hall to Golgotha, or Calvary, the place of crucifixion. Although tradition marks out 14 stations of the cross, or the events that transpired during that exhausting journey, it is almost impossible to locate the exact route taken because the ancient streets of Jerusalem were destroyed several years after the crucifixion by the Roman army. The Via Dolorosa is not mentioned by name in the Bible. Via DolorosaDown 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. 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 Por la Via Dolorosa, triste dia en Jerusalem Los saldados le abrian paso a Jesus Mas la gente se acercaba para ver al que lievaba aquilia cruz Por la Via Dolorosa, que es la via del dolor Como overjavino Cristo, Rey, Senor Y fue El quien ir por su amor Por ti y por mi Por la Via Dolorosa al Calvaria y a morir The blood that would cleanse The souls of all men Made its way through the heart of Jerusalem 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
