"Oh My Soul" by Casting Crowns (ASL cover)

This song came out of Casting Crowns' lead singer Mark Hall's fight with cancer. As you can imagine, he struggled with fear, doubt, and all sorts of questions. He turned to the scriptures and really connected with David's words as he cried out things like ""Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God." (Psalm 42:5). This song was born out of that that struggle and his desire to comfort his soul with the promise of God's presence, the same way David did. It's also been a meaningful song to my dear friend, Christina, lately, and so is a gift to her.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not own the rights to this song. I made this video because I believe everyone should be able to experience the beauty of music, whether they're hearing, deaf, or hard of hearing. No copyright infringement intended.

Also, I make videos both as a ministry (sharing my love of music with people who might not otherwise get to experience it) and as a way to challenge myself and continue growing my skills as an interpreter. They are not intended to be teaching tools, and I encourage people not to try to use my videos as a way to learn to sign. ASL is a rich, complex language with its own syntax and culture that cannot be learned by simply copying music videos. If you are interested in learning (which is fantastic!), I encourage you to contact your churches, local colleges, businesses, etc. to learn if there are any classes or Deaf functions in your area. I am happy to provide resources, answer simple questions, and even take requests sometimes, but I do not do tutorials or teaching videos out of respect for Deaf culture. I encourage everyone to learn to sign, but it is critical to learn from a real-life person you can interact with. This format is not conducive to effective teaching, as I cannot interact with my viewers. Thank you for your understanding. Best of luck to anyone who wants to learn to sign, and I hope you continue to enjoy my other videos!
