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.

A Life of No Regrets

Consecration Constrained by the Lord’s Love

What caused Mary to give her all?
What moved Peter to answer Your call?
Many lives were wasted for Your testimony;
Oh Lord, why do these people care so much for Thee?
 
See the vision of Christ and the church;
Count the cost; reckon all things as loss;
Pay the price. The prize to gain Christ,
Burn the bridges; leave the world behind;
On God’s economy your heart be set
To live a life of no regrets.

Others have considerations,
When serving You, Lord, is the highest profession.
No longer good for the world with all its glory,
We’re for Christ and the church, ’tis now our testimony.
 
See the vision of Christ and the church;
Count the cost; reckon all things as loss;
Pay the price. The prize to gain Christ,
Burn the bridges; leave the world behind;
On God’s economy your heart be set
To live a life...
 
We’ve seen the vision of Christ and the church.
Reckoned the cost; all things are but loss.
Will pay the price — give all of our lives;
We’re burning bridges, left the world behind.
On God’s economy our hearts are set
We’re living a life...
On God’s economy our hearts are set,
We’ll live a life of no regrets.

(Stanza two has two choruses. Please view the video to see how they are sung.)

Amen! None of us want to live a life in regrets. We don't want our life to be counted wasted before the Lord.And so, to live a life of no regrets is to in the divine life, enjoying Him as the unique source of everything, taking Him as our life and our person. This requires us to love Him with our best love. Through such kind of love, we will become willing to give all that we have: our education, our future, and our everything including our entire being. Only then that at the end of our course, we can boldly declare that truly, we lived a life of no regrets.

May we all see the supreme preciousness and the surpassing greatness of our Lord, that we will be like Mary, wasted Her all for the Lord, and be like Peter, responded His call. Today is the best time for us; let us not wait for tomorrow to come: LET US ALL LIVE A LIFE OF NO REGRETS!
