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

1. GOD MEAN LIGHT. GOD REFUSE ACCEPT DARK. COME-ON EXPERIENCE LORD LOVE (2h)YOU.

2. COME-ON ACCEPT LORD. GET HIS-ctr LIGHT. EXPERIENCE LORD LOVE (2h)YOU.

3. GOD SUMMON US BECOME HIS CHILDREN. COME-ON EXPERIENCE LORD LOVE (2h)YOU.

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

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.

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

LIGHT - Same sign as BRIGHT and CLEAR, that is, (2h)[O^], POs away, FOs up, open to (2h)[5], while separating. For a QuickTime file of this sign, see ASL Pro: Light - 1.

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.
