Nari naramenyerey’ ibyaha(I had been accustomed to sins)

Sinari nz’ ijambo ry’ Umukiza(I did not know the word of the Savior)

Sinari nz’ inkoni yakubiswe(I did not know the rod that was struck)

Kubera jye we(Because of me)

Yes’ Umwami yarambabariye(Jesus the Lord forgave me)

Yankuyehw ibyaha byanjye byose(He removed all my sins from me)

Non’ ubu ndamushimira cyane(Now I greatly thank Him)

Umusaraba(For the cross)

2.

Ubgo numvag’ ijambo rye ryiza,(When I heard His good word,)

Nararize mu mutima wanjye(I wept in my heart)

Mperako meny’ imibabaro ye,(So that I might know His suffering,)

Yatewe nanjye(That was caused by me also)

3.

Yes’ Umwami n’ Umukiza wanjye,(Jesus the Lord is my Savior,)

Ni we zuba ndetse n’ ubugingo(He is the sun and also life)

Ndushaho kujya muhimbariza(I continue to rejoice in)

Wa musaraba(That cross)
