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.

Take my life, and let it be

Consecration Surrendering All to the Lord

English445
1
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
2
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
3
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee,
Filled with messages from Thee.
4
Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose,
Every power as Thou shalt choose.
5
Take my will, and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart; it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne,
It shall be Thy royal throne.
6
Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.

Thank you Lord for always being ready to accept us back when we call on you. When sung in faith, this song has helped me surrender all to the will of God and find joy in serving Him by serving His people with all I have - my body, mind and money. To Him alone be glory!

I rejoice as I read posts from my brothers and sisters in Christ from around the world. I am blessed by your consecration to the Lord. I am so glad that you have been blessed by this song as you have given yourselves fully to our Lord Jesus. I have just sung this song slowly and quietly, trying to meditate on each word at a time when I have received news of a very positive Gospel advance. He is worthy of it all!

I have been going through a trial recently, a real battle. I woke up today and thought I would do a Bible study to counter the enemy's lies. But I always like to start with worship which I did. As I wanted to wind down to my Bible, songs of consecration and rededication came to my heart, including this one. It broke me down and I offered my life to the LORD once again. It's like the LORD is saying "Just be fully yielded to Me."

So here I am LORD. My life, heart, mind and soul are Yours. I trust Your Word, and I trust You. ♥️ 💓
