Who's Closest?

O God, Who made me in Your image tall,
You are the closest for I look like You,
my Father, called Our Father by us all,
Creator and Sustainer of me too.

O Christ, Who is as I a human man,
Who like me sees my Father in His Son,
Who, dying, opened heaven so I can
live there forever, You're the closest One.

O Holy Spirit, Comforter and Guide,
You strengthen me, inspiring me to hope,
You gently prompt my listless soul inside,
You're closest as You daily help me cope.

I cannot choose the closest One to me,
so I'll just take You as a Trinity.
