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



On the Via Dolorosa

All my sin was carried away

And the power of Hell was broken

As He gave His life away



He knew it was to come from the very start

But His love for all the world beat inside His heart

He climbed the road of suffering to the hill of Calvary

Where the saints would be redeemed, Hallelujah



On the Via Dolorosa

All my sin was carried away

And the power of Hell 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



On the Via Dolorosa

All my sin was carried away

And the power of Hell was broken

As He gave His life away, oh

As He gave His life away



He traded His crown for a crown of thorns
