My Treasure Thou art

Christian Praise 2008 seemed a little bit more subdued than last year, despite a great band, choir, and speaker (Rodney Green on Psalm 103: God's Word, God's will and God's works). De Montfort Hall was not completely packed out on the Tuesday night, and the chair attributed this in part to the credit crunch. We concluded by singing Be Thou my Vision, and Andy Upton noted that the fourth verse is an antidote to the credit crunch:

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

Jesus said: Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Luke 12:34)
