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

ME KNOW* MY REDEEMER LIVES.
(<) HE-lf LIVES! (>) HE-lf LIVES! (|) HE-lf LIVES!
ME KNOW* MY REDEEMER LIVES.
DURING LAST DAY HE-lf WILL STAND HERE EARTH.
||: MAYBE WORM EAT-UP-body MY BODY. :||
STILL ME COME-#BACK BODY, SEE GOD!
MY EYES SEE HIM-lf WILL.

ME KNOW* MY REDEEMER LIVES.
(<) HE-lf LIVES! (>) HE-lf LIVES! (|) HE-lf LIVES!
ME KNOW* MY REDEEMER LIVES,
DURING LAST DAY HE-lf WILL STAND HERE EARTH.

KNOW-THAT NOW CHRIST RESURRECT, DEATH SET-ASIDE.
VERY-FIRST BLOSSOM FROM THOSE-rt NOW SLEEP.
DEATH, HE-lf DESTROY, CONQUER COMPLETE,
THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

ME KNOW* MY REDEEMER LIVES.
(<) HE-lf LIVES! (>) HE-lf LIVES! (|) HE-lf LIVES!
DURING LAST DAY HE-lf WILL STAND HERE EARTH.
||: (5x) ME KNOW* :|| MY REDEEMER LIVES.
HE-lf LIVES!


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

REDEEMER - R-FREE AGENT.

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

EAT-UP-body - (2H)5:] touches FT to chest and close and open as they travel up the chest, as if taking small bites of it, while gnashing the teeth with each bite.

COME-#BACK - (2h)[B], POs > signer, FOs up, move > signer while changing to (2h)[C] and then (2h)[K].

HE-lf LIVES! (>) HE-lf LIVES! (|) HE-lf LIVES! - To relieve the eye boredom of repetition, the signer can turn > lf and sign this, then > rt, then forward.

KNOW-THAT - Starts like KNOW but twists and descends, looking almost like DON'T-KNOW except the hand twists down at the end.

RESURRECT - [V], PO up, FO away, pronates and hops onto the palm of [B], PO up, FO away. For an animated gif of this sign, see Valley Bible Church - ASL dictionary: Resurrection.

SET-ASIDE - (2h)[B], POs > DS, with DH higher, palms are pressed against imaginary wall that is pushed to one side.

VERY-FIRST - [1], PO down, FO away, supinates like the sign FIRST, but strikes the thumb of NDH [A dot], PO > DS, FO away. For a QuickTime file of this sign, see ASL Pro: First.

BLOSSOM - (2h)[A] are held together but the hands are twisted like the beginning of CHANGE. Hands twist back while opening to (2h)[5:] with the hands still held together.

Lyrics:

I know that my Redeemer lives.
||: (3x) He lives! :||
I know that my Redeemer lives,
and at the last he will stand upon the earth.
||: My flesh may be destroyed. :||
Yet from this body will I see God!
My eyes will behold him.

I know that my Redeemer lives.
||: (3x) He lives! :||
I know that my Redeemer lives,
and at the last he will stand upon the earth.

For now is Christ risen, risen from the dead.
The first fruits of them that slept.
Death has been destroyed, the victory complete
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I know that my Redeemer lives.
||: (3x) He lives! :||
And at the last he will stand upon the earth.
||: (5x) I know :|| that my Redeemer lives.
He lives.
