He traded his crown for a crown of thorns
He picked up His cross and laid down His sword
He stumbled down the road [bad word] and beaten for me
Jesus walked the way of grief
Hallelujah!

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

He knew it was [bad word] 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!

 [bad word] 
On the via dolorosa!
All my sin was carried away!
And the power of Him 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!

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

He traded his crown for a crown of thorns
