Yesu yaje kunshaka,
Ndi kure, nzimiye,
Anshyira ku bitugu
Nukw arantarura !
Maz’ abamarayika be
Baririmba basingiza
Umv’ uko yankunze
Umv’ uko yanshatse !
Ibuk’ amaraso yanguze !
Mbur’uko mbivuga, numiwe
(Jesus came to seek me,)
(When I was far away, lost,)
(He put me on his shoulders)
(And then he carried me!)
(Then his angels)
(Were singing praising)
(Hear how he loved me)
(Hear how he sought me!)
(Remember the blood that bought me!)
(How can I speak it, amazed)
Yasanze nkomeretse,
Nukw aranyomora
Ampumurira neza
At’ Ur’ uwanjye ko !
Sinari numv’ ijwi nk’ iryo,
Nduhuka mu mutim’ ubgo
(He found me wounded,)
(And then he healed me)
(He whispered to me gently)
(Saying You are mine!)
(I had never heard a voice like that,)
(I rested in my heart then)
Anyereka n’ inkovu
Zo mu biganza bye,
N’ izatewe n’ amahwa
Zo mu ruhanga rwe
Nibaz’ icyo yambonyemo,
Cyatumye yihangan’ atyo!
(He showed me the scars)
(In his hands,)
(And those made by thorns)
(In his side)
(I wonder what he saw in me,)
(That made him endure like that!)
None, tuban’ iteka;
Mu maso he hera
Hamvir’ umucyo mwinshi,
Uhor’ unyobora;
Amp’ ibikwiriye byose;
Mbur’ uko mbimushimira
(Now, we live forever;)
(In his holy eyes)
(There shines much light,)
(Always guiding me;)
(He gives me all that's fitting;)
(How can I thank him)
Nduhutse mu mutima,
Amp’ amahoro ye
Iteka ntegereje
Umuns’ azazaho,
Antahukan’ angez’ i We
Anguze n’ amaraso ye
(I rested in my heart,)
(He gives me his peace)
(Forever I will wait for)
(The day that will come,)
(He will comfort me and take me to Him)
(Who bought me with his blood)
