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.

My Grace is Sufficient

Scriptures for Singing

New Songs725
 
And He has said to me,
My grace is sufficient for you,
And He has said to me,
My grace is sufficient for you,
For My power is perfected in weakness,
For My power is perfected in weakness.
 
Most gladly therefore I will rather boast in my weaknesses,
In my weaknesses,
Most gladly therefore I will rather boast in my weaknesses,
In my weaknesses,
That the power of Christ might tabernacle over me,
That the power of Christ might tabernacle over me.

The Grace experienced by Paul was actually the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. In His experience Paul realised that the Lords Grace became Power spread over him like a tent. Hence this Grace power became a dwelling place for Paul in his sufferings. As he was suffering Paul could dwell in the tabernacle spread over him. This tabernacle, this tent, sustained him, supported him, maintained him and kept him.

To magnify the sufficiency of the Lord's grace our sufferings are required, to show forth the perfectness of the Lord's power our weakness is needed. Hence the Apostle would most gladly boast in his weaknesses that the power of Christ might tabernacle over him.

Grace is the supply and the power is the strength the ability of Grace. Both are the resurrected Christ who is now the life giving Spirit dwelling in us for our enjoyment

It is very fallen of man to assume that God is present during the times of joy and prosperity. But then, Hallelujah! Our God... His power is PERFECTED, perfected in our weaknesses. What a wonder.... God is most present in my failures. He is truly our Love! I love You my King Jesus... My Love.
