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.

Reigning life

Experience of Christ As Life

New Songs81
1
How I love Your reigning life, Lord.
How I love abundant grace.
How I love to have Your presence,
As I live before Your face.
 
By Your life, Lord, I am reigning.
I am over, over everything.
As I’m joyfully confessing,
Jesus, as my Lord and King.
2
Sin, you helpless little fellow,
Lost your pow’r on Calvary.
I have made exchange of masters,
Now it’s Christ who rules in me.
3
World, with all your little trappings,
You oppress with doubts and cares.
I have found a new provider,
My anxiety He bears.
4
Self, you cruel manipulator,
You are wholly crucified,
I have no more need to struggle,
In Christ’s vict’ry I abide!
5
Lord, when You return in glory,
When You then the kingdom bring;
By Your life my Lord then make me
Manifested as a king.

Rom 5:17 - “For if, by the offense of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. ”

We reign in by life by remaining under the reigning of the life within. The life within is a submitting life. The life within is a life under authority. The Lord as a man was one who had authority because He Himself lived as one under authority. This most clearly seen by the Roman centurion who stated that the Lord need not come to his home but to only say a word. He also said, "I too am one under authority." These words show us that he recognized the Lord as one who had authority because he perceived that the Lord was under authority.

When we become one's who live under the authority of God's life we then will reign through the life within us over all things.

Thank You Lord it's by YOUR life! We're not reigning in a merely outward way. The true reigning is letting this One and His life reign in us! In all our situations and crossroads, it's not our being able to will-power or triumph over things...the true reigning is learning to depend on this life. This is awesome.

Personally in our family life, as we are enjoying God's life in an abundant way, we shall reign over all the negative situations. Corporately in the church life, as we are being built up together in God's life, we as the Body shall crush Satan (Romans 5:17, 16:20). This is how Matthew 16:18 will be fulfilled.
