After doing all that work (below) I found THIS YouTube video of When I Am Baptized done beautifully in ASL. My work and research is still below, but the video is very nice (and would have been nice to find earlier...)
--------------------- --------------------- --------------------- --------------------- *I put together some simple signs for this When I Am Baptized. One ASL class in High School is what I'm going off of, so... feedback from someone who does know ASL would be appreciated. Hopefully there are no inappropriate signs. ;) I'm kidding, there's not.
*Also, here's where I talk about the sign for Heavenly Father (at the bottom of the post).
MODERATE SIGN:
whenever there is rain RAIN
I want my life flat hand on heart
I want to be the best I can flat hand on heart thumbs up
And I can be forgiven point to self FORGIVE
and improve myself each day. IMPROVE
I want my life flat hand on heart
to be as clean CLEAN
I want to be the best I can flat hand on heart thumbs up
SIMPLIFIED SIGN:
I like to look for rainbows RAINBOWS
I like to look for rainbows RAINBOWS
whenever there is rain RAIN
And ponder on the beauty PONDER
of an earth made clean again. CLEAN
I want my life flat hand on heart
to be as clean CLEAN
as earth right after rain. RAIN
I want to be the best I can thumbs up
and live with God again. point up toward Heaven
I know when I am baptized BAPTIZE
my wrongs are washed away WASHED (palms up, flip over as if letting go or dropping something)
And I can be forgiven FORGIVEN
and improve myself each day. IMPROVE
