EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM
(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).
1. ME RELIEVED, WHY? JESUS me-CONNECTED-TO-Jesus.
ME VISUALIZE HEAVEN TOGETHER FOREVER.
HE PASS-DOWN SALVATION, HOW? HIS BLOOD SPILL-OUT.
(<) HIS SPIRIT SAVE ME. (>) HIS BLOOD FORGIVE.
Refrain: MY STORY, MY SONG "WHAT"?
ALL-DAY MY SAVIOR, ME PRAISE"over time" .
MY STORY, THAT. MY SONG, THAT.
ALL-DAY MY SAVIOR, ME PRAISE"over time" .
2. (<) BOW-DOWN-TO-God PERFECT, (>) THRILL PERFECT.

Notes: SPILL-OUT - (2h)[C] hold imaginary container and pour it out.
(2h)5wg-CL'come down from heaven' - (2h)[5], POs down, are held high and wg fingers as they descend.
(2h)#ALL - (2h)[A], POs ><, FOs up, move away while opening to (2h)[L].
PAH - LIKE SUCCEED but "pah" is mouthed and has the meaning of "at long last". For a QuickTime movie of this sign, see ASL browser - finally.
Lyrics:
1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain: This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long.
2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
3. Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
