[Verse 1]
A F#m
He traded his crown for a crown of thorns
E A
He picked up His cross and laid down His sword
F#m E
He stumbled down the road bruised and beaten for me
D
Jesus walked the way of grief
E
Hallelujah!
[Chorus]
A G D A
On the via dolorosa!
A G D
All my sin was carried away!
A G D A
And the power of hell was broken
G D A
As He gave His life away
[Verse 2]
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]
A G D A
On the via dolorosa!
A G D
All my sin was carried away!
A G D A
And the power of hell was broken
G D A
As He gave His life away
[Bridge]
F#m D E F#m E
Jesus fixed His eyes upon the new horizon
F#m D E F#m
Soon he would arise and the world would be forgiven!
A D
Hallelujah, Jesus rose again!
A D
On the cross He shed His blood on Calvary
A D
I'm thankful for the journey of my King!
[Chorus]
A G D A
On the via dolorosa!
A G D
All my sin was carried away!
A G D A
And the power of hell was broken
G D A
As He gave His life away
[Outro]
He traded his crown for a crown of thorns
