THOSE - Underlined words are honorific indices ("indexes"), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.

FAITH - F-TRUST.

NO-WAY - (2h)[B], POs down, cross at wrists, then uncross moving horizontally and emphatically. For a QuickTime movie of this sign, see ASL browser - don't.

IDEA-LIKE - A blending where IDEA has a [Y] instead of an [I] in anticipation of LIKE which is signed smoothly right afterwards.

TEMPLE - T-CHURCH.

FOUNDATION - NDH [S], PO > signer, FO > DS, is held out with arm parallel to the chest and DH [S], PO > signer, strikes hand from below and then strikes elbow from below.

Lyrics:

1. ||: Those who trust in the Lord
Are a strong mountain
They will not, not be moved. :||

You alone are faithful
Jesus, you, you will not be changed

Are as Mount Zion
They will not, not be moved. :|| Refrain

On a firm foundation
They will not, not be moved. :|| Refrain
