You told us that our hearts will be
where we keep our treasure, Lord Jesus.
You called us to be your covenant people,
all standing together within the gates
of the New Jerusalem; remind
us, it is there with you
that our hearts and
our treasure
belong.
And to be
your people in
the
New Jerusalem
means to be your servant
people in the world where we
were when we were called.
