Story behind the song
Revelation 21 1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." 5 He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." I've just completed a new composition called The New Jerusalem as a testimony that Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Bit of a different musical direction...for now. This time I finally pulled my nylon string guitar out and started to practice the "120 Studies For The Right Hand Development" by Mauro Gulianni again...the classical guitar had been put into retirement for a long time due to the fact that I didn't really have the time or energy to devote to it as I should...it is a life long labor of love and I just happen to dig big loud noisy Marshall stacks that can kill small rodents at 50 paces...what can I say...still in a 15 year old rock'n'roll mind set...will he every grow up? I hope not. Anyway I think this new composition turned out rather well. We'll see soon enough by the responses online, here and on other music internet sites, which I post my stuff on regularly. Internet fans can be very finicky and exacting at times. Never predictable. I thought I'd get a bit into the classical side again. I will be going back to the jazz soon enough. I get bored easily.
