13-30-EN Closer to You, my God

R. Closer to You, my God,
I long to dwell in You, my creator and Lord,
You made me for yourself
And my heart’s without rest,
Until it finds rest in You.
(2x)

1. Who but You can fulfill, the desires of my heart,
Satisfying the search for an all perfect love ?
Who if not You, o Lord, God of goodness and grace,
You the absolute love that has been for all time ?

2. May You show me your love, all the days of my life.
Without You by my side, I just stumble and fall.
May your Spirit of love fill my heart with your fire,
May I learn how to give love and always forgive.

3. At the end of my life may You welcome me Lord,
In your heart, full of love in the Father’s own house.
May I see You, o Lord, contemplate You with joy,
Live in heaven with You in your love without end.
