Gushimisha · 3 verses

1.

Mwami Yesu, ndagukunda,(Lord Jesus, I do love You,)

Ndakwihaye by’ ukuri(I give myself in truth)

Urukundo rwawe rwinshi(Your great and boundless love)

Ni rwo rubinyemeza(Is what assures my heart)

Sinkibabazwa n’ amakuba(I'm not troubled by the trials)

Yose nterwa n’ iby’ iyi si,(That this world brings to me,)

Kuko mbyemereye(For I've accepted all)

kubwawe Kugira ngo ngushimishe(for You To bring You glory)

Ndagukunda,(I love You, Lord,)

Yesu Wemere kumpaka,(Jesus, please accept me,)

Nta kindi cyampaza, Mwami,(Nothing else sustains me, Lord,)

Keretse wowe(Nothing but Your love)

2.

Mwami, ngwin’umpishurire(Lord, help me understand)

Ibyiza wankoreye(The good You've done for me)

Nubwo nizeye buhoro,(Though slowly I believe,)

Ngeza ku Musaraba !(I come unto the Cross!)

Nyigish’uko(Teach me how)

wankunze, Yesu,(You loved me, Jesus,)

Nkiri mubi bikabije,(While I was deeply sinful,)

Ngo nitegerez’ igiciro(That I may grasp the price)

Kimpesha kubabarirwa(That purchased my forgiveness)

3.

Ndushijeho kugukunda,(I love You more and more,)

Ndushaho kunezerwa;(I grow in joy and peace;)

Ar’ aheza cyangw’ ahabi,(In plenty or in want,)

Nta bgo mbur’amahoro(There's nothing like this peace)

Ariko, Yesu, ntagufite,(But, Jesus, without You,)

Nta mahoro nsigaranye;(No peace remains for me;)

Iby’ iyi si, nubw’ ari byiza,(Though earthly things are good,)

Nta cyo byamarira rwose(They cannot satisfy at all)
