He traded his crown for a crown of thorns He picked up His cross and laid down His sword He stumbled down the road bruised and beaten for me Jesus walked the way of grief Hallelujah!
[Chorus] On the via dolorosa! All my sin was carried away! And the power of Him was broken As He gave His life away
He knew it was to come from the very start But his love for the world beat inside His heart He climbed the road of suffering to the hill of calvary Where the saints would be redeemed. Hallelujah!
[Chorus] On the via dolorosa! All my sin was carried away! And the power of Him was broken As He gave His life away
Jesus fixed His eyes upon the new horizon Soon he would arise and the world would be forgiven! Jesus fixed His eyes upon the new horizon Soon he would arise and the world would be forgiven!
Hallelujah, Jesus rose again! On the cross He shed His blood on Calvary I'm thankful for the journey of my King!
[Chorus] On the via dolorosa! All my sin was carried away! And the power of Him was broken As He gave His life away As He gave His life away
