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

REALLY-WANT - WANT but shaken back and forth to show intensity.

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.

HIGH* - [H], PO > NDS, FO away, rises suddenly and high.

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

Lyrics:

We want to see Jesus lifted high,
A banner that flies across this land
That all men may see the truth and know
That He is the way to heaven (2x)

We want to see, we want to see,
We want to see Jesus lifted high (2x)

Step by step we're moving forward,
Little by little we're taking ground,
Every prayer a powerful weapon,
Strongholds come tumbling down,
And down, and down, and down.
