Via Dolorosa

Via Dolorosa is Latin for the “way of sorrows” or “way of pain.” It was located in Jerusalem. This was believed to be the path that Jesus tooked carrying his cross and walking to the site of his crucifixion - Calvary.

This song speaks of a man walking along the Via Dolorosa,Jerusalem. A crowd gathered as the roman solders tried to clear the way. People were pressing in to see a man condemned to die on Calvary. He was bleeding from the stripes upon his back. A crown of thorns pierced upon his head. Each step he bore, people were shouting :"Crucify him, crucify him"

As he chose to walked down that path of suffering, he, our Saviour, our Christ and The King of Kings - blameless but he chose to be the lamb for our sins. He took that road out of the precious love for you and me. The blood he shed to cleanse both you and I. He took all our sins upon himself and chose to use his life in redemption for our lives.

(Isaiah 53 : 3 - 8 )
v3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. v4 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. v5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. v6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way;and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. v7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.v8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken.
