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

Refrain: YOU-rt ANALYZE-me ME LORD. YOU-rt KNOW ME, WHEN ME SIT AND WHEN ME STAND. ||: YOU-rt KNOW ME. :||

1. HOW ME ESCAPE YOU-rt? YOU-rt TOGETHER ME EVERY PLACE. IF ME CLIMB-TO HEAVEN, YOU-rt FIND ME CAN. Refrain

2. IF ME FLY-AWAY TO SUNRISE, OR FLY-AWAY WEST TO SEA, YOUR RIGHT HAND GUIDE ME, LIFT-UP ME. Refrain


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

The signs between "||:" and ":||" are to be repeated.

FLY-AWAY - (2h)[B] cross at wrists and hands flap like wings while showing the path of the flight.

LIFT-UP - (2h)[B], PO down are held high and swoop down while supinating and then rise up again as if helping something mature and the hands continue up and FTs are directed > Heaven.

Lyrics:

Refrain: You've searched me, Lord. You know me when I sit and when I stand. You know me, you know me.

1. Where can I escape you? Your presence surrounds me, when I climb to the heavens, you find me.

2. If I fly to the sunrise, or westward to the sea, your right hand would guide me, holding me.
