Multimedia - Films - Via Dolorosa

Billy Sprague sings on Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem his wonderful song saying about Jesus' suffering for you and me on his way to the cross.
However people are passing by ignoring the artist and his song.


.................

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.

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 .

Oooh

The blood that would cleanse
The souls of all men
Made its way to 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

for you and me

for you and me

Down the Via Dolorosa all the way to Calvary .

O, o,
