EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM
(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).
WE BOW-DOWN-lf.
OUR CROWN~LAY-DOWN-lf
NEAR JESUS HIS-lf FEET.
GREAT MERCY AND LOVE, FIND WHERE?
NEAR JESUS HIS-lf FEET.
Refrain: ||: (3x) WE SHOUT HOLY++'ever higher levels'. :|| THAT THE-lf LAMB.
MY JESUS, ME LOVE YOU-lf.
ME KNOW YOU-lf NOW MINE.
TO YOU ME SURRENDER OFFER-UP.
MY FRIENDLY REDEEMER,
MY SAVIOR, THAT YOU-lf.
IF E-V-E-R ME LOVE YOU-lf,
MY JESUS, FEEL NOW.
Notes: BOW-DOWN - (2h)[B], POs away, FOs up, are held like the final position of GIVE-UP, then bend these arms twice while bowing at waist once.
CROWN~LAY-DOWN - (2h)[L:] (like BIG) place crown on head then move the hands as if to lay it as Jesus' feet.
The signs between "||:" and ":||" are to be repeated.
THE - Underlined words are honorific indices ("indexes"), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.
REDEEMER - R-FREE AGENT.
SAVIOR - S-FREE AGENT.
Lyrics:
We fall down.
We lay our crowns
At the feet of Jesus.
The greatness of mercy and love
At the feet of Jesus.
Refrain: ||: (3x) And we cry, "Holy, Holy, Holy" :|| Is the Lamb.
My Jesus, I love you.
I know thou are mine.
To thee all the follies of sin I resent.
My gracious redeemer,
My savior, art thou.
If ever I'll love you,
My Jesus tis now.
