Via Delorosa Down the Via dolorosa in Jerusalem that day The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street But the crowd pressed to see A Man condemned to die on Calvery 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 Delorosa, called the way of suffering Like a lamb came the Messiah Christ the King But He cose to walk that road out of His love for you and me Down the Via Dolorasa all the way to Calvary The Blood that would cleanse the souls of all men Make 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 ******** (Words & Music by Billy Sprague and Niles Borop) Original recording by Sandi Patty-1983 This is a beautiful song. The Graphic is an oil painting of the Via Dolorsa as it is today, but note the Artist has painted a silhouette of a man carrying a cross as a shadow on one of the walls .... and if you look a little closer you can see the nail scared hands of Our Precious Saviour.
