Verse 1:
   A5                       F#5
He traded his crown for a crown of thorns 
   E5                             A5 
He picked up His cross and laid down His sword 
   F#5                                E5
He stumbled down the road bruised and beaten for me 
      D5
Jesus walked the way of grief 
                    E5
Hallelujah! 

Chorus: 
       A5   G5   D5   A5
On the via dolorosa! 
A5              G5       D5
All my sin was carried away! 
A5                 G5        D5   A5
And the power of hell was broken 
      G5        D5      A5
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] 
On the via dolorosa! 
All my sin was carried away! 
And the power of hell was broken 
As He gave His life away 

Bridge:
F#5             D5     E5           F#5  E5
Jesus fixed His eyes upon the new horizon 
F#5             D5     E5                     F#5
Soon he would arise and the world would be forgiven! 
A5                      D5
Hallelujah, Jesus rose again! 
       A5                          D5
On the cross He shed His blood on Calvary 
    A5                             D5
I'm thankful for the journey of my King! 

[Chorus] 
On the via dolorosa! 
All my sin was carried away! 
And the power of hell was broken 
As He gave His life away 
As He gave His life away 

Outro:
He traded his crown for a crown of thorns
