Gushimisha · 8 verses
Reka nshim’ Umwami Yesu
Kuko yankunze rwose:
Yarampinduye mb’ umwana,
Ngo tubane mw ijuru
Reka nshim’ Umwami Yesu
Ko yamvanye mu byaha;
Noneho, mfit’ amahoro
Arut’ ay’ isi cyane
(Let me praise Lord Jesus)
(Because He truly loved me:)
(He transformed me as a child,)
(That we may live together in heaven)
(Let me praise Lord Jesus)
(For He saved me from sins;)
(Now, I have peace)
(That far surpasses that of the world)
Mur’ iyi si dutuyemo
Yuzuy’ uburiganya,
Ntabgo yabasha guhaza
Iby’ imitim’ ishaka.
(In this world we live in)
(Full of deception,)
(It cannot satisfy)
(What hearts desire.)
Kand’ Umwuka wawe wera,
Abamuhawe bose,
Ni W’ ujy’ abazinukisha
Kwifuz’ iby’ isi byose,
(And Your Holy Spirit,)
(Given to all who receive Him,)
(He goes renewing them)
(From desiring worldly things,)
Ujye wirukan’ ubwenge
Bwa Satan’ anzanira
Bwo kuntandukanya nawe,
Isoko y’ ubugingo
(He goes driving away the wisdom)
(Of Satan that he brings me)
(To separate me from You,)
(The source of life)
Yemw’ ababyawe n’ lmana,
Mujye muhirimbana,
Mugere ku Musaraba,
Mubone kunesh’ isi
(You who are hated by God,)
(Go and compete with each other,)
(Come to the Cross,)
(See how to despise the world)
Yes’ amaz’ imyaka myinshi
Ajy’ atwihanganira;
Nimuze, dusig’ ab’ isi,
Babone kutwifuza
(Jesus has spent many years)
(Being patient with us;)
(Come, let us leave the worldly ones,)
(Let them see us desiring Him)
Mwe kujya muvuga Yesu,
Uwo mwumvany’ a bandi;
Mujye mumureb’ ubwanyu,
Ari ku Musaraba
(You who keep talking about Jesus,)
(Whom you heard from others;)
(Go and see Him yourselves,)
(He is on the Cross)
Mwe kujya mukebaguza
No gusubir’ inyuma
Mu byo mwahozemo kera,
Mudahemura Yesu !
(You who keep wavering)
(And turning back)
(To what you trusted in before,)
(Do not insult Jesus!)
