Gushimisha · 3 verses

1.

Nubwo ntsizwe n’ ibyaha,

Yesu yarankijije;

Yamviriy’ amaraso,

Angura n’ urupf’ atyo

Tuzab’ akaramata,

Ak’ ishami n’ igiti

(Though I was overwhelmed by sins,)

(Jesus has saved me;)

(He washed me with blood,)

(And overcame death thus)

(We will have a crown,)

(As a branch to a tree)

2.

Urukundo rwa Yesu

Rusaguts’ ikirere !

Nta cyo twarugeraho:

Ruzagumahw iteka

Ni We warumbwirije:

Jye ntabgo nari nduzi

(The love of Jesus)

(Has filled the sky!)

(We cannot reach it:)

(It will endure forever)

(He is the one who revealed it:)

(I did not know it before)

3.

Nubwo ntsizwe n’ ibyaha

Yes’ andutira byose;

Az’ ibyo nkennye byose;

Az’ umubabaro;

Namuberey’ imbata:

Nta cyago cyampangara

(Though I was overwhelmed by sins)

(Jesus is worth more than all;)

(And all my poverty;)

(And suffering;)

(I caused Him slavery:)

(No danger threatens me)
