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.

Fallen, that’s the way we all begin

Experience of Christ Fellowship with Him

Fallen, that’s the way we all begin:
Imprisoned by the evil fate we’re in.
How can we from this hard world of sin
be saved?
 
Just by calling, “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.”
Every moment, each day!
Calling on the name of Jesus—
We’re finding is the way.
It’s Jesus, Lord Jesus!
2
Even though we love the Lord so much,
Somehow, it seems we get out of touch
With Jesus. How can we be freed from such
distress?
3
Sometimes we know we aren’t being real
Then times, we just live by how we feel.
Is there some way we could ever deal
with self?
4
Christians, scattered throughout all the earth
Are wand’ring—Lord, where is Your Bride of worth?
How can all those of the second birth
be one?

Being in the Living Church-Life, we will be in Spirit of wisdom, without this Living Spirit, then we are out-of-touch. Then how can we all be one, if we do not have the Spirit of Jesus, but if we all are in one Body of Christ, we are many members in Christ. This hymn, will help us more and more. This is the way, we will be, in Christ. Only in Jesus, is that what really matters. Just go to Him, by word and prayer. This is what Daniel had already had, when studied. My prayer is:

"Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus! Keep us one, in you. Despite of our sins, or failures, could lead all of us, into temptations, Lord Jehovah! Be wrought into all of us, so that, no sins of temptations, cannot keep all of us apart from God and Christ Jesus, He's our Friend and Companion. May we be keeping our course, and run the race, of what You have accomplished. Unto Your glory, Your Church, we are the Church, a glorious Church, Living Church of Christ, following You, beseeching You, all the way, of the pathway to Your wonderful beautiful City! NEW JERUSALEM, Becoming a pattern, for Your wedding.
