(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).
(This spiritual may vary as to how parts are repeated, so stay flexible.)

FREEDOM COME SOON. YES, ME KNOW*.

JUSTICE COME SOON. YES, ME KNOW*.

JESUS COME SOON. YES, ME KNOW*.
Notes: FREEDOM - FREE.
ME - Underlined words are honorific indices ("indexes"), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.
KNOW* - Make it emphatic by pausing slightly and then striking the temple once, rather than just tapping.
JUSTICE - (2h)[B^], POs ><, FOs up, tap FT while moving in a horizontal circle.
