ENGLISH:
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.
DAKOTA:
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,
hduha Jesus siha en,
kun iwahpamda waceya,
Jesus onśimada ce.
Jesus Christ wastewadaka,
Jesus Christ nimayan: han,
wastewadake amatonwe
is eya wastemada.
