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.

Does Jesus care when my heart is pained

Comfort in Trials By the Lord’s Care

English695
1
Does Jesus care when my heart is pained
Too deeply for mirth or song,
As the burdens press,
And the cares distress,
And the way grows weary and long?
 
O yes, He cares, I know He cares,
His heart is touched with my grief;
When the days are weary,
The long night dreary,
I know my Savior cares.
2
Does Jesus care when my way is dark
With a nameless dread and fear?
As the daylight fades
Into deep night shades,
Does He care enough to be near?
3
Does Jesus care when I’ve tried and failed
To resist some temptation strong;
When for my deep grief
There is no relief,
Though my tears flow all the night long?
4
Does Jesus care when I’ve said “goodbye”
To the dearest on earth to me,
And my sad heart aches
Till it nearly breaks,
Is it aught to Him? Does He see?

Does Jesus care? O yes He cares, I woke up with this song in my mouth this morning and then got up from my bed I took my phone and I googled the song. I sad down and sang the songs and meditate on the song, as I was about to stand up I felt like a trance and the message dropped on my mind " if you worried about what God has not done which heart will you use to appreciate what God has done for you"? After this message I felt the deep peace that only God can give and I am singing this song all through the day.

Thank you God Almighty for confirming that you care for your children in the mighty and powerful name of our savior and redeemer Jesus Christ Amen.

When a local Church that you cared and depended on failed to care. When Church members refuses to be healed of eye disease and continue to look through the scales of discrimination, Yes, even then, Jesus, my Lord and my God, cares.

Thank you, Savior.

HalleluYah for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ of Nazareth who truly DOES care about us and EVERYTHING we're going through, good, bad, happy, sad, mad, big, small, He cares about it ALL. He loves us so much that He DIED a HORRIBLE death so that we may have eternal life! That's how much He cares! He wants to hear from us about it too! He wants us to tell Him our problems, even though He already knows what they are. When we bring it to Him though, it shows Him that we have faith in Him, that we want HIS help, not the world's or that we want to tell Him how happy we are and thank HIM for whatever it is. When we make a mistake, of course he wants us to tell the person sorry, but He also wants to hear from us, that we're sorry for not acting in a way that represents His love. If we are angry, we do not tell the world on a tiktok video, we bring it to Jesus and ask Him to help us not have that anger, to give us the words, ideas, strength, help and love to solve it. He cares more than anyone on this earth could ever care. HalleluYah! Thank You, Father God, thank You Jesus, thank You, Holy Spirit. Praying for my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus who are being persecuted and executed in Nigeria and all over the world. I call down Your Holy Angels Lord to be a shield and protection to all of us who love You, Lord, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Surround us at night and keep us safe from all evil in every form, at all times. In Jesus Christ's name I pray, so it is done. HalleluYah! Amen ✝️

This song was on my heart as I was preparing to pray. Sometimes when we are troubled, we need these hymns to remind us how much Jesus cares.
