89. Yesu yaje kunshaka

Ndi kure, nzimiye,(When I was far away, lost,)

Anshyira ku bitugu(He put me on his shoulders)

Nukw arantarura !(And then he carried me!)

Maz’ abamarayika be(Then his angels)

Baririmba basingiza(Were singing praising)

Umv’ uko yankunze(Hear how he loved me)

Umv’ uko yanshatse !(Hear how he sought me!)

Ibuk’ amaraso yanguze !(Remember the blood that bought me!)

Mbur’uko mbivuga, numiwe(How can I speak it, amazed)

Nukw aranyomora(And then he healed me)

Ampumurira neza(He whispered to me gently)

At’ Ur’ uwanjye ko !(Saying You are mine!)

Sinari numv’ ijwi nk’ iryo,(I had never heard a voice like that,)

Nduhuka mu mutim’ ubgo(I rested in my heart then)

Zo mu biganza bye,(In his hands,)

N’ izatewe n’ amahwa(And those made by thorns)

Zo mu ruhanga rwe(In his side)

Nibaz’ icyo yambonyemo,(I wonder what he saw in me,)

Cyatumye yihangan’ atyo!(That made him endure like that!)

Mu maso he hera(In his holy eyes)

Hamvir’ umucyo mwinshi,(There shines much light,)

Uhor’ unyobora;(Always guiding me;)

Amp’ ibikwiriye byose;(He gives me all that's fitting;)

Mbur’ uko mbimushimira(How can I thank him)

Amp’ amahoro ye(He gives me his peace)

Iteka ntegereje(Forever I will wait for)

Umuns’ azazaho,(The day that will come,)

Antahukan’ angez’ i We(He will comfort me and take me to Him)

Anguze n’ amaraso ye(Who bought me with his blood)
