Ubuhamya bw' i Gologota
Ubuhamya bw' i Gologota(The testimony of Golgotha)
Ninki igitsika umutima(What is it that moves the heart)
Sinabona indirimbo n' amagambo(I cannot find songs or words)
Yabisobanura(That could explain it)
Urugendo rwo gucugurwa(The journey of redemption)
Nubwo rwari rukomeye(Even though it was difficult)
Ntacyo bintwaye(It cost me nothing)
Yesu yabumbuye igitabo(Jesus opened the scroll)
Goligota wambambiye Umukiza(Golgotha, you crucified the Savior)
Wabikoze utazi icyo ukora(You did it not knowing what you were doing)
Kuri wowe yari ikivume(To you He was a curse)
Kurijye ni Umucunguzi(To me He is a Redeemer)
Umwana w' Imana ihoraho(The Son of the eternal God)
Si narinzi isoko y' ibyishimo(I never knew the source of joy)
Byanjye gendana(That walks with me)
Ibitekerezo byanjye ntibyigeze(My thoughts never once)
Bibimpishurira(Revealed it to me)
Isoko y' indirimbo(The source of song)
Idudubiza muri jye(That bubbles up within me)
Namenyeko(I have come to know)
Ari ubuhamya bw' i Gologota(It is the testimony of Golgotha)
