	Story Behind the Song I wrote this in 1986. It won song of the year at the Christian Song Festival in Estes Park,CO. that year. Based on the scripture in Rev. 21 which promises us that those who know Christ will dwell in the New Jerusalem. No more crying, no more pain. With Jesus for eternity! Lyrics “NEW JERUSALEM” Words & Music by Randy Mayfield Vs. 1: I’VE NEVER BEEN TO JERUSALEM. I’VE NEVER WALKED WHERE JESUS WALKED. I’VE NEVER STOOD BESIDE THE SEA OF GALILEE, WHERE THE PEOPLE GATHERED ROUND AS JESUS TAUGHT. I’VE NEVER SEEN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMENE, WHERE MY SAVIOR PRAYED AND WHERE HE CRIED. BUT I’VE LOOKED UPON THE TREE AT CALVARY, AND I’VE KNELT BEFORE THE CROSS WHERE JESUS DIED. AND I’M GOING TO MY HOME IN NEW JERUSALEM, SO MUCH BRIGHTER THAN JERUSALEM OF OLD. FOR THE STREETS ARE NOT OF STONE OR OF EARTHEN CLAY. BUT THEY’RE LINED WITH JEWELS AND PAVED IN SOLID GOLD. Chorus: NEW JERUSALEM, HOLY CITY OF THE KING WHERE WE’LL WALK BESIDE THE LORD, AND WE’LL LIVE ETERNALLY! NEW JERUSALEM, NO MORE SORROW, NO MORE PAIN. ALL OUR TEARS ARE WIPED AWAY AND FOREVER WE WILL REIGN. Vs. 2: WELL, YOU MAY NEVER SEE THAT OLD JERUSALEM OR IT’S BUSY STREETS ALL LINED WITH MERCHANT’S WARES. BUT YOU CAN ONE DAY SEE THAT CITY FILLED WITH LIGHT WHERE THE WATERS FLOW WITH LIFE SO CRYSTAL CLEAR. FILLED WITH THE GLORY OF THE FATHER UP ABOVE, GUARDED BY HIS ANGELS AND SURROUNDED BY HIS LOVE, SURROUNDED BY GOD’S LOVE…. (repeat chorus) c. Randy Mayfield
