EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM
(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).
Refrain: ||: BOW-DOWN-TO GOD. CRAZY-FOR BOW-DOWN-TO GOD. :|| ||: HE-rt SUMMON YOUR NAME. :|| ||: (2h)YOU HOLY. GOD CHOSE (2h)YOU. :||
1. COME-ON, #BACK-TOGETHER-God THE LORD. YOUR LIFE FOLLOW GOD HIS WORD SHOULD. ||: HE-rt SUMMON YOUR NAME. :|| Refrain
2. GO-TOWARDS-HIGH-GOAL BECOME LIGHT ITS-ctr CHILDREN. LIVE EXPERIENCE GOD LOVE (2h)YOU. ||: HE-rt SUMMON YOUR NAME. :|| Refrain
3. GO-AHEAD SING WITH FULL HEART. (<) PRAISE, (>) RECOGNIZE GOD HAVE GLORY. ||: HE-rt SUMMON YOUR NAME. :|| Refrain
Notes: The signs between "||:" and ":||" are to be repeated.
BOW-DOWN-TO - (2h)[B], POs away, FOs up, are held like the final position of GIVE-UP, then bend these arms twice while bowing at waist once. Note: This may seem a strange translation of "Blessed be [God]!", but theologically I don't see how we can bless God. The Hebrew this concept comes from is "baruch" and is related to "birkayim (knees)", in other words "bend the knee [to God]".
CRAZY-FOR - [5:], PO > singer, FO up, is shaken slightly from side to side.
HE - Underlined words are honorific indices ("indexes"), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.
SUMMON - DH [B] taps NDH [B], PO down, FO > signer, then moves > signer while closing to an [A], PO away from signer, FO up, and moving up.
HOLY - H-CLEAN. For a QuickTime file of this sign, see ASL Pro: Holy - 1.
COME-ON - (2h)[B^] move in circles pivoting at the wrists to beckon someone to do something.
#BACK-TOGETHER-God - (2h)[B], POs ><, FOs up, are held with NDH close to the body and the DH high and close to where God is spatialized. The hands transition to a C and then a K while rushing towards each other and contacting.
GO-TOWARDS-HIGH-GOAL - Like the sign GOAL but the DH moves in a vertical circle while going towards the goal to show a constant process and the NDH hand is held relatively high.
GO-AHEAD - (2h)[B^ dot], POs ><, FOs away, move forward in a jerk.
GLORY - (2h)[5], POs><, FOs away from signer, DH which is on top wiggles fingers while ascending. For an animated gif of this sign, see Animated dictionary of religious signs - Deaf Missions: Glory.
