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.

Abide in Me, and I in you

Experience of Christ Abiding in Him

New Songs123
 
Abide in Me, and I in you,
As the branch cannot bear fruit
Of itself unless
It abides in the vine,
So neither can you
Unless you abide in Me.
1
I am the vine,
You are the branches,
He who abides in Me and I in him.
He bears much fruit
For apart from Me you can do nothing.
2
If you abide in Me and my words abide in you
Ask whatever you will and it will be done for you.
When we abide in the Lord and let His words abide in us,
We actually are one with Him and He works within us.
Then when we ask in prayer for whatever we will
It is not only we who are praying
He too is praying, in our praying.
This kind of prayer is related to fruit bearing
and will surely be answered.
3
You did not choose Me, but I chose you and I set you.
That you should go forth and bear fruit,
And that your fruit should remain,
That whatever you ask the Father in my name,
He may give you.

We have a Glorious Father. Someone who cares, watches and loves us. I cannot say more than Thank Him, and Abide in HIM.

All I need to do is live in my Spirit.

Oh Lord Jesus!

I like this song because it makes me realize that apart from Christ I can do nothing. I'm so blessed that the Lord chose me, I just only need to abide in Him.

This is the universal spreading of Christ as the True Vine! He is the branch and we are the branches.When we abide in Christ as the universal Vine, we have the church life, a life of loving one another.

If we have such an abiding, we will have an effective prayers for fruit-bearing! When we abide in the Lord and let His words abide in us, we actually are one with Him and He works within us, and there will be a desire in us that comes out of His words, and His desire will become our desire. Amen. Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord, we have been grafted into Christ as the vine! What a mercy that we who were once the wild olive tree have been grafted into the cultivated tree (Christ).

We should always abide in Christ (the vine),for apart from Him we can do nothing.

Lord, keep us each day abiding in You.
