1.

Yesu, ni Wowe musa mbonyemo

Amahoro nifuzaga

Najyaga nyashaka, sinyabone,

Ngasuhuz’ umutim’ iteka

None, ni Yes’ umpaza wenyine:

Nta n’ irindi zina nemera,

Kuk’ ubugingo n’ umunezero

Bibonekera muri We

(Jesus, You alone are where I find)

(The peace I was longing for)

(I used to search for it, but could not find it,)

(My heart was always restless)

(Now, it is Jesus alone who satisfies me:)

(There is no other name I accept,)

(Because life and joy)

(Are found in Him)

2.

Nifuzag’ uko nakwinezeza,

Ntita ku Mukiza wanjye

Nkimwirengagiza ntamwitaho,

Nukw’amfatish’ urukundo rwe

(I wanted to please myself,)

(Not caring about my Savior)

(While I was ignoring Him, not paying attention,)

(He captured me with His love)

3.

Najyaga njya kw iriba ry’ iyi si,

Mfit’ inyota nyinshi cyane,

Naba ngiye kunyw’ agakam’ ubgo,

Nuko nkayabura, nkiheba

(I used to go to the wells of this world,)

(Having great thirst,)

(I would drink a little there,)

(Then I would miss it and despair)

4.

Nuzuy ‘ agahinda n’ ubwihebe,

Mbuz’ ibyo niringiraga;

Maz’ amaso yanjy’ arahumuka,

Ndakureba, Yesu, ndanyurwa

(I was filled with sorrow and despair,)

(Losing what I had hoped for;)

(Then my eyes were opened,)

(I see You, Jesus, I am satisfied)
