  1. @bluie101 ya well the objective is to always mouth the words in english even if you are signing straight ASL grammar. This song is pretty english anyway. Thats why I changed the title from “(in ASL)” to “(in Sign Language)”. Deaf people get upset when you say something is “ASL” and it really isn’t good ASL grammar.

  2. I like how you sing in SE (Signed English) Gives those who don’t truly understand ASL to understand what you are saying. :o) Keep it up! Blessed is HE! ~Peace

  3. i want to learn asl all highschools should have it bc ikt is a language could u plz teach natalie grant in awsl someone bc i want to do that 4 someone i really wanna learn jus that pl do asl all so different even though theres one correct way i think i mean idk rlly

  4. Wow! I really enjoyed your video. Great job! I noticed your sign for Renown. How did you know that one? We sing this song at my church, and when I’m signing to it I come across that word and I have no idea what it’s sign is! LOL If you could tell me, or direct me where you found it, I’d like that very much. God bless man!

  5. great job! I just started interpreting at church and it is true that sometimes the congregants want something in between ASL and English. Great job! Thanks for sharing.

  6. i know sign launguage and i talk to ppl do u? but ill say u wrere awsome in fact im g2g going to church!<3

  7. wow! u did an amazing job… i am in sing language 1 currently and i just wish that one day i will be able to interpert songs like this… i absolutely love asl.. my teacher is actually deaf and so like i find i alot easier to learn that way. sense he mostly speaks in asl.

  8. ok…i have to say that the “Holy signing, Batman!” part of ur comment did make me laugh. lol. Thanks for the support. God Bless!

  9. Holy signing, Batman! You did a great job, I’m like sitting here in awe. Good job!

  10. I know that my “ASL” grammer still isn’t that great. I am still working on it.

    I find your videos absolutely amazing with the extent of ASL grammer. I have a few songs where I’m tryin to practice a little more ASL for them. I know this song is pretty english…thats the reason I changed it from “in ASL” to “in sign language”

  11. See, i’ve said this before but i think so many ppl focus so much on “only ASL” As an interpreter, one should be able to sign whatever that deaf individual wants. If I am interpreting and someone wants me to sign straight english…then i need to be able to do that and vise versa for straight ASL. I have found that the majority of ppl i have interpreted for what something right in between….So around this area we use PSE. When I am home in FL with my deaf friend I try to work more on my ASL.

  12. I read in your comments that you are doing these songs so that Deaf people can “understand” them. Some may disagree with me, but if that’s true, I suggest trying to loosen up from the English words try to find a rythm to the music. Let your signs convey meaning, not just signs. Bringing music to a Deaf audience requires visual stimulation that can somehow match the aural stimulation a hearing person gets. That’s what I TRY to do myself. This isn’t a knock on your ability, you did a great job

  13. Actually, ASL is the only one listed above that is an actual language. SEE, PSE, and anything else is not an actual language. ASL is.

  14. You truly have an amazing talent and I’m so glad to see that you’re using it for the glory of God. You make it look so effortless.
    I’m so happy i came across your video as it reminded me of the desire & passion i once had for learning sign language. Unfortunately I haven’t acted enough on that desire but seeing your talent did stir something.
    Thank you. And may God continue to bless you abundantly!

  15. There are many ways to sign a song and doesn’t necesscaily (spelling??) mean one is right or better over another (within reason). I really do appreciate your constructive feedback though! That is what Interpreters are suppose to do. Helping one another improve is what its all about!

    Thank you and God Bless!!

  16. thank you, I know the song isn’t in “Strait ASL grammer” but ASL, SEE, PSE whatever you wanna call it. When you really get down to it, its all sign language. Now i’m not saying I agree with signing strait eng. B/c i’m actually really against it but even ASL has initialized signs so then it starts to come down to what do you initialize and not initialize. I think the most important part is that you make it understandable to the deaf. That is my goal….

  17. I admire your desire, that is great when one interprets music, especially Christian songs.
    Technically, however, this song is not in ASL, nor does it follow ASL grammatical structure, and a few times there were initialized signs, which are not found in ASL, so I would advise your to re-title your video, so that it is not deceiving to viewers.
