Video Blog 12

Deaf 17 year old girl does her 12th video blog. Sings "Amazing Grace" in American Sign Language.
TRANSCRIPT:
Hi. My name's Chelsea...
I'm 17 years old.
This is vlog number twelve.
I have been doing this for over a year, started in Jan 2006.

Yeah..


For this vlog, I'm so tired of talking about myself. You don't want to hear about me anyways!

SO... guess what?

You get to hear me sing!


Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

It was Grace that taught my heart to fear,
And Grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that Grace appear,
The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers and traps
We have already come;
It's grace that has brought me safe thus far,
And Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised me good
He will my shield and portion be,
as long as life endures.

Yea, when this heart and flesh shall fail
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be for ever mine.

When we've been here ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.

My goodness, your hands are blurry throughout most of the blog because you're signing too close to the camera lens! You needed to sit further away from the camera. In that way, you can respect the "signing space" of the chest area and about a foot on either side of the body, where a lot of the sign are made. You're hands are also getting cut off when you put them too high or low.
