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

Refrain: DEEP INSIDE-SELF (2h)YOU, ME PLANT-SEEDS MY LAW. NOT IDEA~LIKE ON STONE, INSTEAD INSIDE-SELF YOUR"pl" HEART. COME-ON FOLLOW ME. WILLING BRING-TO-Heaven (2h)YOU #BACK-WITH-God. BECOME MY SPECIAL PEOPLE, ME BECOME YOUR"pl" GOD.

1. ME GIVE~(2h)YOU HEART NEW. SPIRIT INSIDE-SELF (2h)YOU, NEW. ME (<) PROTECT, (>) SUPPORT (2h)YOU STRONG.

2. ALL-LOOK-AT-me, SEE MY FACE. SEE YOUR GOD. YOUR"pl" HOPE, ME SATISFY.

3. COME-ON #BACK-TO-me ME. LOVE ME YOUR"pl" WHOLE HEART. HAPPEN? ME ACCEPT (2h)YOU #BACK-TO-me.


Notes: INSIDE-SELF - The FT of [C] are held against the chest and stuff the FT of [O^] into the [C] twice.

(2h)YOU - Underlined words are honorific indices ("indexes"), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.

PLANT-SEEDS - [O^], PO down, FO away, moves away while closing to an [A] repeating in rows perpendicular to the chest.

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

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

#BACK-WITH-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.

ALL-LOOK-AT-me - (2h)[4], POs down, FOs away, turn hands so that the FO is > signer's face.

Lyrics:

Refrain: Deep within, I will plant my law, not on stone, but in your heart. Follow me; I will bring you back. Be my own, and I will be your God.

1. I will give you a new heart, a new spirit within you, for I will be your strength.

2. See my face, and see your God, for I will be your hope.

3. Return to me, with all your heart, and I will bring you back.
