About Numbered Notation

Numbered Notation (also called Jianpu, 简谱) writes each melody note as a number from 1 to 7 instead of a note on a staff. The number shows the note's position in the song's scale -- not its exact pitch -- so the same tune looks identical no matter what key it's sung in.

Within one octave, the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 correspond to the familiar do re mi fa sol la ti. A dot above a number raises it an octave higher; a dot below lowers it an octave lower -- no dot means the middle, as-written octave.

A plain number lasts one beat. A dash (-) right after a number holds that same note for one more beat. A line underneath a number shortens it instead -- one line is half a beat, two lines a quarter of a beat. A 0 is a rest: silence for one beat.

The label at the top of the sheet, like "1=C" or "1=Ab", shows which pitch scale degree 1 ("do") is tuned to. A song in a minor key is labeled "6=X" instead -- scale degree 6 ("la") is the true tonic. Chord names printed above the notes (like "C" or "G7") always use their familiar letter names, never numbers.

For example, under a "1=C" heading, the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 sound as C D E F G A B. Under a "1=G" heading, those very same numbers sound as G A B C D E F# instead -- same shape, different key.

Lord, You love me so immensely

Consecration Constrained by the Lord

Lord, You love me so immensely;
I would love You more intensely.
Every day and every moment,
O Lord, capture me.
Let my goal and my life’s theme be,
Lord, to love You most supremely;
With all my heart, Lord Jesus,
Keep me faithful unto Thee.
 
Draw me, Lord, each day.
Take my veils away.
With a pure heart will I see You;
Lord I just love You.
Nothing else I seek;
No one else for me.
I would fully and absolutely
Give my whole being unto Thee.

I read this: "The God-man lived a human life filled with the divine life as it's content" and was reminded of the lyrics of the first verse, let my goal and my life's theme be. Content is what fills something and gives something purpose, direction, and value.

So easily my heart gets veiled and suddenly I am asking what is the goal and purpose of my life.. oh how thick is this veil at times. Thank you Lord your love is immense enough to keep capturing my heart that I may have these veils removed to see you. Amen

Lord, You love us so immensely, may we love You more intensely. Thank You, dear Lord Jesus, that You poured Yourself out as love into our hearts (Rom 5:5), that we can return this love to You, to satisfy Your heart. I am so impressed that the angels cannot return the Lord’s love. They are only servants to the heirs of salvation. But we, as vessels to contain His love, can return his love to Him.
