Gushimisha · 4 verses

1.

Ubgo nagendaga ndemerewe,(Once I walked in blindness,)

Sinari nz’ ubg’ icyo ntekereza(I was not like one who thinks)

Nonubu, maze kwihitiramo(But now, having made my choice)

Mpisemw Umucunguzi(I have chosen the Savior)

Tekereza nimutekereze !(Think, O think about it!)

Mbes’ iryo jambo muryitayeho ?(Will you ignore this word?)

Mwibaze, muhitemo !(Ask yourselves, make your choice!)

2.

Mbeg’ urukundo rw’ Umwami Yesu !(What great love of the Lord Jesus!)

Aradukunda tudakwiriye(He loves us though we're unworthy)

Ubu ngub’ arabahamagara:(Now He calls you:)

None, nimutemo !(Now, make your choice!)

3.

Ntangajwe cyane n’ imbabazi ze:(I am greatly amazed by His mercy:)

Ni zo zatumy’ anyitanirira;(It made Him give Himself for us;)

Kandi ngiheze mu mwijim’ ubgo,(And being now in that darkness before,)

Mvanwamo n’ umucyo we(I have found His light there)

4.

Emera nawe kwihitiramo !(Believe also to make your choice!)

Imur’ umwanz’ uguhemukira;(Take away the enemy opposing you;)

Wimik’ ahubg’ Umukiza wawe !(Stand near your Savior!)

Nta wakez’ abo bombi(There is no one serving both)
