Story behind the song
New Song Dedicated to the Great Disappointment of October 22, 1844, (based on Daniel 8:14 and Daniel 9:24-27), and Genesis 6:3.
Daniel 8:14
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
Daniel 9:24-27
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Genesis 6:3
And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Lyrics
"New Song"
When I stood on Mount Zion
Let me tell you whats going on
Got my friends a long tradition
Soon well be coming home
Chorus:
So Ill Sing, Ill sing a new song
All the way to Jerusalem.
Got the tenstring come play along
Well sing some Praises on Mount Zion
When on stood on Mount Olivet
I heard a voice it said go on.
Chorus
You can see the seasons coming on
Well come singing back to Zion
Gonna see a new kingdom
Standing on Mount Zion.
Chorus
