Acoustic Rock - This song was written 1973 and has been done in 3 different versions. This is the second version that was done.
A Jesus rock band that loves the Lord and His Word.
Christian Rock/ Pop/ Progressive/ Retro - Contrary to their name Raw Dog is not a hardcore heavy metal band, instead they are actually quite mainstream in sound. There message is one of hope to those who have been abused by members of the Body of Christ. Their music they feel is for the church and sinner alike.
Story behind the song
I was the passenger in a truck when I was first a Christian and the Lord gave me these scriptures and I was impressed to put them into this song.
Lyrics
THE NEW JERUSALEM
Revised
And He said to me, "It is done. I am the Alpha
and the Omega, the beginning and the end"
Revelations 21:6
There are kingdoms,
many kingdoms from which to choose,
But just one Kingdom,
Jesus Kingdom Is the one to choose !
My Jesus ! My only Jesus !
He's the way; He's the truth; He's the Life.
He can take you (John 14:6)
He can place you in His kingdom
(Yes He Can)
And I saw, a new heaven and earth, (Rev. 21 :l)
for the first one passsed away
And there were no, no more tears (Rev- 21:4)
just perfect harmony
Then the City, that Holy City (Rev. 21:2)
Descended from the heavens above
And He carried me away In the Spirit (Rev. 21:10)
(Yes He did)
And I saw pure rivers of water (Rev. 22:1)
Life, clear as crystal
Proceeding out of the throne of God
rivers of Living Water
Now the tree, that Tree of Life (Rev. 22:2-3)
The fruit of it healed the nations
and there shall be no more, no more curse
(No, there won't)
No more curse (No there wont)
Alleluia ! Alleluia ! Oh sing, Alellula ! Allelula !
Keep praising the Lord, Praising the Lord
Keep praising the Lamb, Praising the Lamb
Alleluia ! Oh sing Alleluia !
But remember,
He who overcomes (Rev. 3:12)
Shall Inherit these things
And I will be his God (Romans 8:19,23)
And he will be My son. My Son
Blessed are those (Rev. 22:14)
Who wash their robes
That they may have the right
To the Tree of Life
And may enter by the gates
Into the city, Into the city
Outside are the dogs, (Rev. 22:15)
Outside are the dogs,
Outside are the dogs,
Beware of the dogs,
Outside are the dogs
Beware of the evil workers, (Phillipians 3:2-3)
Outside are the dogs
Beware of the false circumcision, (Titus l:10-11)
Outside are the dogs
Do not give what is Holy to dogs (Matthew 7:6)
Do not throw your pearls before swine
Lest they trample them under their feet
And turn and tear you to pieces.
