The song at the end of Episode 10 of HBO’s True Blood can be found on the Miami Vice Soundtrack. Maybe they reveal more about where the show is going than just where the show has been. Here are the lyrics, we’ll let you decide:
I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
I said I’m running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view
I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
Lord said I’m running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view
Come on yeah nonny, help me to run this holy righteous place
Can’t you yell then, save your calling, well he’s knockin at your door today
I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
I said I’m running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view
(John he ? a record) oh he suffered for Jesus Christ
They places him on an island called Atmus
He had a great revelation sign
I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
I said I’m running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view 3x
21st Chapter Revelation
John talking about the new world
Said I saw a new heaven and a new earth
For the first heaven and the first earth were passed away
And thou will no more see
And John said I saw a new Jerusalem coming down
From god out of heaven, prepared as a bride
A dawn for a husband, amen
You know (we are a city)? that’s set on the hill
Cannot be here, (a person is a city?), amen
So let us humble ourselves dear one
Get ready for the new world
Prepare yourself to live in that holy city
That same city, that same kingdom that Jesus was talking to his disciples about
When he left them and gone back to his father
Don’t forget it, amen
Said let not your heart be troubled
Believe in God, believe in me also
In my father’s house are many mansions
Everyone not so, I would have told you
I’m going to prepare a place for you
And if I go to prepare a place for you
I will come again and receive you onto myself
That what I am, that you may be also
Now tell me dear one, why was Jesus
He was standing on earth talking to his disciples, amen
Promising them that he’s coming back for them, amen
To live with them here on this earth, amen
He’s gonna live with you in your human body
And He and his family, amen
So don’t get the bible mixed up
You just keep that same old way that grandpa and grandma had
They didn’t know any better, got winked at them and said
And they was well blessed for what they knew
And you gonna be cursed for turning the word down, amen
Let the church say amen
Let’s wake up now and get in line
I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
I said I’m running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view
I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
I said I’m running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view

Listening to Sister Gertrude Morgan singing on King Britt’s New World in my View I noticed that some of the lyrics published on- line for this song are incorrect. I could not catch every word she sang and spoke, but here is what I could gather.
King Britt – I Got The New World In My View
I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
I said I’m running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view
I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
Lord I’m running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view
Come on yeah nonny, help me to run this holy righteous place
Can’t you hear the, Saviour calling, well he’s knockin at your door today
I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
I said I’m running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view
John he bought a record, oh he suffered for Jesus Christ
They placed him on an island called Patmos
He had a great revelation sign
I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
I said I’m running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view 3x
21st Chapter Revelation
John talking about the new world
Said I saw a new heaven and a new earth
For the first heaven and the first earth were passed away
And there was no more sea
John said I saw a new Jerusalem coming down
From God out of heaven, prepared as a bride
Adorned for her husband, amen
You know we are a city that’s set on the hill
Cannot be hid, a person is a city, amen
So let us humble ourselves dear one
Get ready for the new world
Prepare yourself to live in that holy city
That same city, that same kingdom that Jesus was talking to his disciples about
When he left them and gone back to his father
Don’t forget it, amen
Said let not your heart be troubled
Believe in God, believe in me also
In my father’s house are many mansions
If it were not so, I would have told you
I’m going to prepare a place for you
And if I go to prepare a place for you
I will come again and receive you onto myself
That where I am, there ye may be also
Now tell me dear one, where was Jesus
He was standing on earth talking to his disciples, amen
Promising them that he’s coming back for them, amen
To live with them here on this earth, amen
He’s gonna live with you in your human bodies
He and his family, amen
So don’t get the bible mixed up
You just keep that same old way that grandma, greatgrandma and grandpa had
They didn’t know any better, God winked at ther ignorance and said
And they was well blessed for what they knew
And you gonna be cursed for turning the word down, amen
Let the church say amen
Let’s wake up now and get in line
I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
I said I’m running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view
I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
I said I’m running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view
