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.

The love of God and the grace of Christ

The love of God and the grace of Christ
And fellowship of the Holy Spirit
Be with you, be with you all,
Be with you all, be with you all.
 
From the throne of our God and the Lamb
Flows a river of water of life,
Bright as crystal, reaching man.

Amen, I agree with brother Bit, We have to make this basic decision. Lord I have no other desire, no other interest, & no other investment in my time. Other than what I need to live & support myself, I want to give all my time, thoughts, & energy to just loving & serving You. If we fully give our hearts to the Lord, He will saturate our entire being & we won’t express anything other than Him. Nothing else on earth including our own natural love for our families will supersede our love for the Lord. Lord Jesus make this a reality in our living. There is nothing and no one else but You! 💙 TY Lord for this mighty flow of living water that is reaching us!

A BASIC DECISION

As the Lord’s children, we just have to love Him and to be one with Him. We have to live the Lord Jesus. Also we have to set our heart on the Lord’s interest. We have to tell the Lord, “Lord, on this entire earth I have no other interest. My unique interest and desire is You. I love You because You love me. I want to live You. I want to live under Your instant and momentary leading. ” This is basic. Dear saints, if you do not make such a basic decision, you can never have the Lord’s leading. You must have such a basic decision. You must tell the Lord, “Lord, thank You, You have chosen me, You have predestinated me, You have called me, You have saved me, You have regenerated me, You have brought me to this day, and You have preserved me. Thank You, Lord, by Your mercy and grace I love You. Besides You I have no interests, no desire. I just want to live You, living under Your momentary leading. ” Dear saints, this is more than basic. If you have not made such a basic decision, you do not need to talk about the leading. You are not in the position to have the Lord’s leading. You must make such a decision.

I am praising Him, my Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! My only true and loyal Son of God, who had bled and died, He's also a living water of life, becoming a living bright crystal, shining forth His wonders, into man, into his vessel, fit and knitted together, as a sea-glass vessel, that has made from God. formed into His marvelous City, NEW JERUSALEM
