EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM
(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).

COME-ON TRUST, TRUST, TRUST OUR GOD (3x)

ME GET EVERYTHING GOD PROMISE IDEA~LIKE FARM GATHER-TOGETHER.
BEFORE DEVIL STEAL, NOW EVERYTHING #BACK-TO-me.
TODAY ME REJOICE. TODAY ME REJOICE.
WHY? EVERYTHING #BACK-TO-me.

COME-ON TRUST, TRUST, TRUST OUR GOD (3x)

JESUS, JESUS, JESUS. HIMSELF-lf OUR GOD. (3x)

ME GET EVERYTHING GOD PROMISE IDEA~LIKE FARM GATHER-TOGETHER.
BEFORE DEVIL STEAL, NOW EVERYTHING #BACK-TO-me.
TODAY ME REJOICE. TODAY ME REJOICE.
WHY? EVERYTHING #BACK-TO-me. (as many times as directed)

TODAY ME CELEBRATE. (8x)

WHY? EVERYTHING #BACK-TO-me.


Notes: COME-ON - (2h)[B^] move in circles pivoting at the wrists to beckon someone to do something.

ME - Underlined words are honorific indices ("indexes"), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.

IDEA~LIKE - A blending where IDEA has a [Y] instead of an [I] in anticipation of LIKE which is signed smoothly right afterwards.

GATHER-TOGETHER - (2h)[S], POs down, FOs ><, move > each other while opening to (2h)[5wg].

DEVIL - (2h)[3], wg while moving repeatedly > forehead. For an animated gif of this sign, see Valley Bible Church - ASL dictionary: Satan.

#BACK-TO-me - (2h)[B], POs > sign, FOs up; the hands transition to a C and then a K while rushing towards the signer.

REJOICE - CELEBRATE.

Lyrics:

Faithful, faithful, faithful is our God. (repeat 3x)

I'm reaping the harvest God promised me.
Take back what the devil stole from me.
And I rejoice today, for I shall recover it all .
And I rejoice today, for I shall recover it all.

Faithful, faithful, faithful is our God. (repeat 3x)

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus is our God. (repeat 3x)

I'm reaping the harvest God promised me.
Take back what the devil stole from me.
And I rejoice today, for I shall recover it all.
And I rejoice today, for I shall recover it all.

Im reaping the harvest God promised me.
Take back what the devil stole from me.
(as many times as directed)

And I rejoice today. (8x)

For I shall recover it all!
