Closer and closer I walk to You

I wake, a mere babe, seeing the world for the first time,
Loving You for the first time.

Growing older I get to know You more,
How You came to visit me in my exile
In this valley of tears,
And what You did for me.

I see You now and then,
In the little, holy bread.
Ageing, I mature in love for You.
Not necessarily becoming more perfect
But becoming more perceptive of my imperfections.
Older and older I grow,
Closer and closer I walk to You,
I want to love you more and more
But You know how changing I am 
Even before Your unchanging love -
Help me, I ask You, grow in love for You,
For You are all I need and want,
In this exile of mine in this valley of tears,
Lord Jesus Christ
