Notes: WORSHIP - NDH is clasped over DH [S] and hands circle perpendicular to the chest. For an animated gif of this sign, see Animated dictionary of religious signs - Deaf Missions: Worship.

GLORY - (2h)[5], POs><, FOs away from signer, DH which is on top wiggles fingers while ascending. For an animated gif of this sign, see Animated dictionary of religious signs - Deaf Missions: Glory.

(2h)#ALL - (2h)[A], POs ><, FOs up, are held at shoulder height and move away while opening to (2h)[L].

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. Note: This may seem a strange translation of "bless", but theologically I don't see how we can bless God. The Hebrew this concept comes from is "baruch" and is related to "birkayim (knees)", in other words "bend the knee [to God]".

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.

APPROACH - (2h)[B], FOs up, DH PO away, ND is held in front of NDH and palm faces it, then both hands approach one another slightly.

SKY - using the FT of the upturned palm, point > sky and sweep the hand > DS. For a QuickTime movie of this sign, see ASL browser - sky.

ASK-QUESTION-us - [S], PO > signer, FO up, flicks finger in face as if we are being asked a question.

Lyrics:

We will worship the Lamb of glory.
We will worship the King of kings.
We will worship the Lamb of glory.
We will worship the King.

I bless the name of the Lamb of glory.
I bless the name of the King of kings.
I bless the name of the Lamb of glory.
I bless the name of the King.

And with our hands lifted high.
We will worship and sing.
And with our hands lifted high,
We come before You rejoicing.

With our hands lifted high to the sky,
When the world wonders why,
We'll just tell them we're loving our King.
We'll just tell them we're loving our King.
