Gushimisha · 9 verses

1.

Kera narabatijwe(Before I was baptized)

Kandi ndakomezwa,(And I was strengthened,)

Ntari nabon’ amaraso(I had not seen the blood)

Y’ U mwana w’ Imana(Of the Son of God)

Ko wamfiriye,(For He died for me,)

Ndakwitur’ iki?(What shall I give in return?)

Ndaguh’ uyu mutima(I give You this heart)

N’ ubugingo bganjye !(And my life!)

2.

Mwa bafit’ ibyaha mwe,(You who have sins,)

Nimuze, mukizwe:(Come, be saved:)

Yesu ni We bukiriro(Jesus is the refuge)

Bw’ abantu banduye(For defiled people)

3.

Mwumv’ aho dukirizwa:(Hear where we are saved:)

Ni ku Musaraba(It is at the Cross)

Utahagez’ ashobewe(Whoever does not reach there)

Ntabw’ ababarirwa(There is no forgiveness for them)

4.

Mwami Yes’ unyemere,(Lord Jesus, accept me,)

Njy’ ah’ ur’ uko nd’ uku,(Come where You are as I am,)

Unyuhagiz’ amaraso,(Wash me with the blood,)

Ayo wamviriye(That You shed for me)

5.

Yesu, warampfiriye,(Jesus, You died for me,)

Uwakugomeye;(You the mighty one;)

Nkuruwe n’ uko wankunze;(I am amazed at how You loved me;)

Ngusanze non’ ubu(I find You even now)

6.

Noneho, ndakwinginze,(Now, I have trusted You,)

Nshyira mu maraso,(I put myself in the blood,)

Ay’ igiciro wavuye ;(Of the price You paid;)

Bizambuza kugwa(It will prevent me from falling)

7.

Kand’ iyo ngiye kugwa,(And when I am about to fall,)

Arankuyakuya;(It pulls me back;)

Maz’ akanyigiza hafi(Then it draws me near)

Kukw ankunda cyane(Because You love me greatly)

8.

N’ ubu ndacyabanguka(Even now I still stumble)

Kuyob’ inzira ye;(To follow His way;)

Nakwihana, nkamwisunga,(When I sacrifice myself, I praise Him,)

Angaruramw ubwo(He lifts me up then)

9.

Uwiteka Rurema(The Eternal Creator)

Na Yesu yabyaye(And Jesus who was born)

N’ Umwuka Wera bahwanye,(And the Holy Spirit are equal,)

Nsingiz’ ubutatu(I praise the Trinity)
