Gushimisha · 3 verses

1.

Rukundo rwinshi, —Buntu butarutwa,(Great love, —Unsurpassed grace,)

Umwami Yesu—Kw agiriwe nabi,(The Lord Jesus—How He was treated badly,)

Akubitirwa—Ibibi nakoze(Being struck—For the evil I did)

Ngw’ anshungure rwose: —Abishimirwe(To redeem me completely: —Let Him be praised)

Ubuntu bwawe—Bumfasha, Mwami(Your grace—Helps me, Lord)

Busumba cyane—Impano zose(It surpasses greatly—All gifts)

Njya ntekereza, —Nkir’ aha mw isi,(I keep thinking, —While I'm here in the world,)

Ubwo buntu bwinshi—Bwanshunguye(Of that great grace—That redeemed me)

2.

Kand’ iyo ngoswe—N’ umwijima mwinshi(For when I'm surrounded—By much darkness)

Inshuti yanjye—Imfat’ ukuboko;(My friend—Takes my hand;)

Singitiny’ ubwo, —Ari y’ imfashije:(I don't fear then, —For He helps me:)

Ntumbira mw ijuru, —Yes’ antinyuye(He carries me to heaven, —Jesus strengthens me)

3.

Umusaraba—Wawe ni w’ unkiza;(The Cross—Yours is what saves me;)

Ni W’ unduhura—Rwos’ imibabaro(It's what removes—All my sorrows)

N’ ubuhungiro—Bwanjye buhoraho;(And my refuge—That's forever mine;)

Umbera n’ icyiru—Ku Mucamanza(You protect me with a shield—Before the Judge)
