I'LL FLY AWAY
(See below the lyrics for the update.)

For our next song, I selected the favorite song of a loved one who has passed. We sang this at her funeral, and it always makes me think of her. This is an EXCELLENT and inspiring rendition.
For now, please analyze the lyrics and send me an email of how you would explain the meanings of the lyrics. Before we can truly interpret a song into ASL, we must get to the heart of the meaning and break away from the English wording. Please send me an email of this "written interpretation" as soon as possible to [email protected] . Have fun!

Now that you have submitted what the lyrics mean to you, let's have a look at an awesome interpretation. This signer is extremely skilled. Although many ASL-interpreted worship songs online are poor (unfortunately), this one is outstanding! Understand, the way she signs each concept is not exactly the same that I would, so it may not match up to what YOU wrote either, however that is the nature of music in general. It means something different to each of us. Let's watch her interpretation, and I'll put a transcript (called GLOSSING in ASL, as it will be in ASL sign-for-sign) below the video, then an English-worded version of that gloss. It will seem overwhelming, but we'll take it one step at a time. Enjoy!
I'll add the glossing and ASL to English meaning after we've looked at YOUR take on the meaning of the lyrics.
