Gushimisha · 4 verses

1.

Yesu, ni Wowe musa mbonyemo(Jesus, You alone are where I find)

Amahoro nifuzaga(The peace I was longing for)

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

Ngasuhuz’ umutim’ iteka(My heart was always restless)

None, ni Yes’ umpaza wenyine:(Now, it is Jesus alone who satisfies me:)

Nta n’ irindi zina nemera,(There is no other name I accept,)

Kuk’ ubugingo n’ umunezero(Because life and joy)

Bibonekera muri We(Are found in Him)

2.

Nifuzag’ uko nakwinezeza,(I wanted to please myself,)

Ntita ku Mukiza wanjye(Not caring about my Savior)

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

Nukw’amfatish’ urukundo rwe(He captured me with His love)

3.

Najyaga njya kw iriba ry’ iyi si,(I used to go to the wells of this world,)

Mfit’ inyota nyinshi cyane,(Having great thirst,)

Naba ngiye kunyw’ agakam’ ubgo,(I would drink a little there,)

Nuko nkayabura, nkiheba(Then I would miss it and despair)

4.

Nuzuy ‘ agahinda n’ ubwihebe,(I was filled with sorrow and despair,)

Mbuz’ ibyo niringiraga;(Losing what I had hoped for;)

Maz’ amaso yanjy’ arahumuka,(Then my eyes were opened,)

Ndakureba, Yesu, ndanyurwa(I see You, Jesus, I am satisfied)
