Gushimisha · 7 verses

1.

Mwami, nubwo nd’ umunyabyaha,(Lord, though I am a sinner,)

Njya mpora nkwinginga:(I come quickly pleading to You:)

Mana, wumve gusaba kwanjye,(God, hear my prayer,)

Unze mu mutima(Come into my heart)

2.

Narambiwe gukund’ ibyaha(I am tired of loving sin)

Bituma nshumura;(That makes me ashamed;)

Ahubw’ Umwuka wawe Wera(Because of Your Holy Spirit)

Ab’ ari Wo ntunga(Who is Yours, I seek)

3.

Kera najyaga nshidikanya:(Long ago I was doubting:)

Nta cyo byanyunguye;(It did not benefit me;)

None nshaka ko tuvugana,(Now I want us to speak,)

Nkureba, nkumvira(I look to You, I listen to You)

4.

Ndashaka kwaka cyane, Mwami,(I truly desire, Lord,)

Murikirwa nawe ;(To be accepted by You;)

Umwuka waw’ ufash’ uwanjye,(Your Spirit helps mine,)

Nkund’ uko wankunze(To love as You loved me)

5.

N’ ukuri, Mwam’ ubwo niyobya,(It is true, Lord when I obey,)

Washaka wampana,(You desire to give me,)

Kuk’ umutima mubi nk’ uyu(For a wicked heart like this)

Utabana nawe(Cannot dwell with You)

6.

Kand’ amaraso yawe, Mwami,(For Your blood, Lord,)

Nzi ko yamviriye(I know it is sufficient for me)

Twuzure rwose, ndabyifuza,(Let it fill me completely, I desire it,)

Uk’ ubinshakira(As You seek it for me)

7.

Ni byo nsigaye njya nifuza;(This is what I continue to desire;)

Mwami, ndakwinginze,(Lord, I have surrendered to You,)

Mbeshweho n’ ubugingo bwawe,(Let me live by Your life,)

Kubgawe wenyine(For You alone)
