1.

Nari naramenyerey’ ibyaha

Sinari nz’ ijambo ry’ Umukiza

Sinari nz’ inkoni yakubiswe

Kubera jye we

Yes’ Umwami yarambabariye

Yankuyehw ibyaha byanjye byose

Non’ ubu ndamushimira cyane

Umusaraba

(I had been accustomed to sins)

(I did not know the word of the Savior)

(I did not know the rod that was struck)

(Because of me)

(Jesus the Lord forgave me)

(He removed all my sins from me)

(Now I greatly thank Him)

(For the cross)

2.

Ubgo numvag’ ijambo rye ryiza,

Nararize mu mutima wanjye

Mperako meny’ imibabaro ye,

Yatewe nanjye

(When I heard His good word,)

(I wept in my heart)

(So that I might know His suffering,)

(That was caused by me also)

3.

Yes’ Umwami n’ Umukiza wanjye,

Ni we zuba ndetse n’ ubugingo

Ndushaho kujya muhimbariza

Wa musaraba

(Jesus the Lord is my Savior,)

(He is the sun and also life)

(I continue to rejoice in)

(That cross)
