Über die Zahlennotation

Die Zahlennotation (auch Jianpu oder 简谱 genannt) schreibt jede Melodienote als Zahl von 1 bis 7 statt als Note auf einem Notensystem. Die Zahl zeigt die Stellung der Note in der Tonleiter des Liedes -- nicht ihre genaue Tonhöhe --, sodass dieselbe Melodie unabhängig von der gesungenen Tonart gleich aussieht.

Innerhalb einer Oktave entsprechen die Zahlen 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 den bekannten Solmisationssilben Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti. Ein Punkt über einer Zahl hebt sie um eine Oktave an; ein Punkt darunter senkt sie um eine Oktave ab -- ohne Punkt bleibt es bei der mittleren, so geschriebenen Oktave.

Eine einzelne Zahl dauert einen Schlag. Ein Bindestrich (-) direkt nach einer Zahl hält dieselbe Note einen weiteren Schlag lang. Ein Strich unter einer Zahl verkürzt sie dagegen -- ein Strich ist ein halber Schlag, zwei Striche ein viertel Schlag. Eine 0 ist eine Pause: ein Schlag Stille.

Die Angabe oben auf dem Notenblatt, zum Beispiel "1=C" oder "1=Ab", zeigt, auf welcher Tonhöhe die Stufe 1 ("Do") liegt. Ein Lied in Moll trägt stattdessen die Angabe "6=X" -- Stufe 6 ("La") ist dann der eigentliche Grundton. Akkordsymbole über den Noten (wie "C" oder "G7") werden immer mit ihren gewohnten Buchstabennamen geschrieben, nie als Zahlen.

Bei der Angabe "1=C" klingen die Zahlen 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 als C D E F G A B. Bei "1=G" klingen dieselben Zahlen dagegen als G A B C D E F# -- gleiche Form, andere Tonart.

My goal is God Himself

Longings For God

Neue Melodien350
1
My goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace,
Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God;
’Tis His to lead me there—not mine, but His—
At any cost, dear Lord, by any road.
2
So faith bounds forward to its goal in God,
And love can trust her Lord to lead her there;
Upheld by Him, my soul is following hard
Till God hath full fulfilled my deepest prayer.
3
No matter if the way be sometimes dark,
No matter though the cost be oft-times great,
He knoweth how I best shall reach the mark,
The way that leads to Him must needs be strait.
4
One thing I know, I cannot say Him nay;
One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
My God my glory here, from day to day,
And in the glory there my great Reward.

Peter, I haven't sung this song in quite awhile and since it was coming up in my being I thought I had better get the words. I think I came to hymnal.net not only to find the words but your post as well. You write the words that reflect so many of our experiences. Thank you for the ultimate encouragement found in Christ alone.

The Lord Jesus is the reality of all the positive things, without the reality of these things they are just “good feelings” but they fall short of the person. Lord may we not miss Your person, You are the very God. Lord, You are the highest goal!

As a young believer the song's sentiment encouraged me, much along the rash zeal of "Lord, I will lay down my life for You! Even if I must die with You, I will by no means deny You!"

Not too shortly the rooster crows and time and again, experience exposes that often i'd rather MUCH prefer something else.

"Will you lay down your life for Me?" No Lord, I do not want to stay here in traffic with You, I prefer peace! No, I do not like this valley Lord, I want joy! There was a point I thought I should stop singing this because of my shortcomings in even the slightest discomfort.

But this is definitely a song sung in faith, faith in His promise towards us, bound by His own word!

We may be faithless, but God remains faithful. Faithful is our God who calls and also will do it. We could never! At our best we'd boast as if we can do it, and at our worst, we'd shrink back and deny Him... three times. But God could never deny Himself!

It just reminds me of a brother's prayer: Lord we love not because of what You give or do, because You Are. Dearest Lord grant us to know You as the GREAT I AM, be everything to us, be subjective and real to us, give us deeper and inward knowledge of You, we love You because of what YOU ARE.

My goal is God Himself, not joy nor peace. I really enjoyed that God can be joy and peace, God can be blessing, God can be all these things. BUT - without Christ as the center of all these items, they are just mere things. Praise the Lord that in the church life we are not following something or someone, we are simply following Christ!!!

So to see this vision is to see our Lord as the CENTER and REALITY of everything we enjoyed. We can see justification in Romans, by do we see that God IS justification? That God IS joy? We really need to see Christ as the reality of everything. The Bible is just Christ Himself! And as witnesses of this vision, we must speak forth what we have seen! The vision demands a response!
