Wontain Waste Nahon Po / Hear the Good News

1.  Hear the good news of salvation:
    Jesus died to show God's love.
    Such great kindness! Such great mercy!
    Come to us from heaven above.
    Jesus Christ, how much I love You!
    Jesus Christ, You save from sin!
    How I love You! Look upon me.
    Love me still and cleanse within.

2.  All the sins I have committed
    To my Savior now I bring.
    I bow down with tears of anguish;
    Christ forgives and so I sing:
    Jesus Christ, how much I love You!
    Jesus Christ, You save from sin!
    How I love You! Look upon me.
    Love me still and cleanse within.



1.  Wotanin waste nahon po,
    Jesus he waihdusna:
    Towaosida kin tanka,
    He dehan iyomahi.
    Jesus Christ wastewadaka, 
    Jesus Christ nimayan:
    Han, Wastewadake amatonwe
    Is eya wastemada.

2.  Woahtani kin ecamon,
    Hdu-ha Jesus siha en,
    Kun iwahpamda waceya,
    Jesus onsimada ce.
    Jesus Christ wastewadaka, 
    Jesus Christ nimayan:
    Han, Wastewadake amatonwe
    Is eya wastemada.
