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.

Let’s go on!
Forward come!
 
A heart that is loving Him,
A heart that is willing,
A heart that’s uplifted,
No, not defeated!
 
Let’s go on!
Forward come
To the Son!
 
We are Your vessels,
Created to be
Man in Your image
To be filled up with Thee.
You’re my enjoyment
Overflowing me!
I’m a man in Your image,
Thus expressing Thee!

Let’s go on!
Forward come!
 
A spirit that’s burning,
A heart that is bubbling,
Saints that are eating
And always drinking!
 
Let’s go on!
Forward come
To the Son!

Let’s go on!
Forward come!
 
Spirit releasing,
Saints that are feasting,
Not analyzing,
Or criticizing.
 
Let’s go on!
Forward come
To the Son!
4
Let’s go on!
Forward come!
 
Life so enjoyable,
Else it be terrible,
But He’s so wonderful,
And so available!
 
Let’s go on!
Forward come
To the Son!

For a long time I've been longing for completion. Acceptance. Approval. Satisfaction. I sought it from my parents. I sought it from men. I sought it in clothing. Careers. Friends. Sports. Everywhere but in Jesus. It seemed so cliché to love Jesus. It was spoken more as a song than a lifestyle to me. It seemed to me that after all the years I've become immune to the the phrases and the scripture used in church at times. What is loving God? How is it that every one claims to love God one moment and the next they are hurting Him? That can't be love. How is that love? It challenged me to search love in total abandonment until I found it. Well I did. He did. He found me. He has won my heart. His love is the completion of all hurt and loss in life. There really is a moment that you hit, a point of no return. I mean why long for anything else when you have, well..Everything. I shall not want. There is a man. And He will not fail me. It is a guaranteed love. An everlasting love. This man will not put me aside. This man will not lie and deceive. This man is only good. He does not seek to cause me pain for the worse, but for the better. This man will love me even when I fail Him. Again and again. He will persistently seek and search me until He finds me. He won't relent until I am His. All of His. He is a Jealous man. He demands everything from me as the grave. He will yearn for me even more than I can ever yearn for Him. He has already completed me, before I even agreed. And I know that this sort of completion, this love will never be found in any other man. For His Father created me in such a way that I could search the whole world for love and satisfaction, & I will only ever find it in His son.

Jesus is love. Jesus is life. He is the only answer. He is all that I need. Glory.

There is no other source of satisfaction because He is the Creator of our desires and they are given to us to draw us to Him. We are only satisfied in satisfying Him.

It will never be found in any other man. For His Father created me in such a way that I could search the whole world for love and satisfaction, and I will only ever find it in His Son.

Jesus is love. Jesus is life. He is the only answer. He is all that I need. Glory..

There is no other source of satisfaction because He is the Creator of our desires and they are given to us to draw us to Him. We are only satisfied in satisfying Him.
