Via Dolorosa chords by Sandy Patty

Em            D           C            B
Down the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day
Em                   D            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                     D
He was bleeding from a beating,
C                     G
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
Em              E7
who cried out for His death

Am                    B                   Em E7
Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Am                    B                Em E7
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King,
Am              B               Em                 G        C
But He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me
Em             D         C            B    Em
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary.


B                       Em
The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men
B                           Em       E7
made its way through the heart of Jerusalem.
