Ai Gitare Cy’Imana(O Rock of God)

Reka nguhungireho(Let me take refuge in you)

Kubg’imbabazi zawe(Because of your mercy)

Kera Waramenewe;(Long ago You were split open;)

Non’ubu nkwihishemo(Now I hide myself in you)

Umujinya W’ Imana(The Cleft of God)

2.

Amazi n’amaraso(Water and blood)

Byo mu rubavu rwawe(From your side)

Binkiz’uburyo bgombi(They save me from both)

Urubanza rw’ibyaha(The judgment of sin)

N’imbaraga mbi zabyo:(And its evil power:)

Bye Kuzansind’ukundi(They will overcome for me another time)

Ibyo twakora byose,(All that we do,)

N’umwete wacu wose,(And all our zeal,)

N’agahinda gasaze(And sorrow that ends)

N’amarir’ dashira(And tears that don't end)

Byose ntibyashobora(All these cannot)

Kudukurahw ibyaha(Take away our sins)

Ntacyo nzanye mu ntoke(I bring nothing in my hands)

Kibasha Kunshungura,(That can redeem me,)

Simfit’icyo naguha:(I have nothing to give you:)

Nizey’umusaraba,(I cling to the cross,)

Uwo Wamfiriyeho:(That You died on for me:)

Ni wo njya niringira(It's what I trust in)

Dore nambay’ ubusa(I come to you naked)

Ndakwinging’ unyambike;(I appeal to you to clothe me;)

Sinabasha Kwikiza;(I cannot save myself;)

Ndagushakah’ ubuntu;(I seek your kindness;)

Unyuhagir’ibyaha,(Cleanse me from sin,)

Mutabazi, ne gupfa(Gracious one, even from death)
