DEVOTION INSTRUMENTAL


Icy blue the colour of her eyes
Hard to make her even realize
She’s the one who makes me happy, so happy
The type of girl that doesn’t know she’s pretty, so pretty


And when she sends for me, I will run to her
Giver her all the loving that she needs
When she asks for me, I’ll appear to her
Her greatest wish is my command

Genie, I’m your genie
Release me, come on baby


The lamp I’m in throws no shade her way
Cause I bring all the lightness to her darkest hours
Rub me right, I’ll make it go away
Master over me and all my powers


And when she sends for me, I will run to her
Giver her all the loving that she needs
When she asks for me, I’ll appear to her
Her greatest wish is my command

Genie, I’m your genie
Release me, come on baby

The Gopala Campu narrates the pastimes as found in the Srimad Bhagavatam with the addition of Rasa. Jiva Goswami writes that it is a "work composed of the bliss of Radha and Krishna" and "those who desire to see Vraja and to attain Goloka will achieve that destination by this work."

GC_Purva raag, part 3, chap 33, verses 1-38 Fulfillment of All desires.mp3

[Verse 1]
I’m sitting here now, looking at my life,
So many things I’ve been doing, I know —
Some are wrong, some are right, it’s always hard,
Everything that feels so good carries a scar.

If it tastes good, yeah, they say it’s no good,
If it feels great, then it’s probably no good, no…
That’s what they tell us, that’s what they put in,
Trying to make us feel like we don’t deserve love again.

But I’m here now, Father God, on my knees,
Praying to You, begging, “Father, please…”
Why does everything in my life hurt so bad?
Even going live, God, I feel the pain they all have.

So much need, so much greed, so many “please, Father God,”
I’m tired of feeling the pain that I feel inside.
Lock it down, stop it, God, put it away —
I know I need to feel some things to be okay.

But too much is too much, these days grow longer,
No man is free, Father God, I’m still in slumber.
Nightmares attacking my rest and my sleep,
Father God, there’s gotta be another way for me to see.

Every person I meet, I see their passion,
I feel everything they need, every wound, every action.
Their pain, their greed — Father God, can You see?
How can one man take on a whole world’s plea?

You tell me lift them up, You tell me take their pain,
You tell me, Father God, “Just be there, remain.”
I’m sitting on a promise, Father God, can You see it through?
Can You see all the things that I need from You?

All the pain that I fall through in my life, God, I know
There’s gotta be a better way to carry this load.
Maybe just find us, maybe some barricades,
Walk with me in these darker days.

See me through the pain every single day,
Make me stronger, make me understand each weight.
Father God, just ease my mind, set it free —
Let me be who You’ve called me to be.

See Their Pain

"The One That Stays" wrestles with an ancient question: How do ordinary people offer something sacred when the old stories demand the impossible?

Inspired by Buddhist teachings about sacrifice and perseverance, this song explores the tension between spectacular acts of devotion and the quiet heroism of simply continuing—of getting up, showing up, and staying present through hardship. It's about redefining what it means to give your life to something greater: not through dramatic gestures, but through the unglamorous work of enduring for what you believe in.

The song asks: What if the body isn't meant to be destroyed, but to stay? What if the perfect offering isn't burning out, but burning on—day after ordinary day?

For anyone who's ever felt too small, too broken, or too ordinary to matter: this one's for you. The light that changes the world comes from lives that refuse to break.

Bluesy folk pop with soul. A song about resilience, faith, and the sacred ordinary.

Lyrics: 
[Verse 1--Intimate, introspective, stripped back]
They said the old saint lit himself on fire 
Twelve hundred years of light, arms ablaze 
How can I match that pyre 
With my small hands and ordinary days?

The book says we all can wake right here
In this skin, this bone, this very life
But if waking means I disappear—
Then what's the body even for?

[Chorus--Anthemic but earthy, building intensity without losing intimacy]
But the fire is what they do to you 
And you keep walking anyway 
The perfect gift ain't the spectacular view 
It's the only body—the one that stays 
Yeah, the only body is the one that stays

[Verse 2--Intimate, introspective, stripped back]
The teacher said, "You misunderstand the flame" 
The body is the treasure, not the kindling 
It's persecution that will stake your claim 
When you stand for truth while the world is dwindling

Not just any suffering counts, he said 
Only what you bear for what is true 
Not the lost accounts or the emperor dead 
But the dailiness of rising when they come for you

[Chorus--Anthemic but earthy, building intensity without losing intimacy]
'Cause the fire is what they do to you 
And you keep walking anyway 
The perfect gift ain't the spectacular view 
It's the only body—the one that stays 
Yeah, the only body is the one that stays

[Bridge--Vulnerable, space opens up, instruments pull back before final chorus surge]
So I offer up this job, this grief, this bread 
This rising when I'd rather stay in bed 
This helping when I'm barely standing tall 
The mystic law transforms it all— 
Into the flame without the cost 
Of leaving nothing when you're lost

[Verse 3--Intimate, introspective, stripped back]
The light that saves the world, I've learned 
Comes from a life that will not break 
From hands that give, from bridges burned 

From the heart that makes its stand for giving's sake
In this ordinary, unspectacular land 
Where enlightenment blooms in mortal clay—

[Final Chorus--Anthemic but earthy, building intensity without losing intimacy]
Yeah, the fire is what they do to you 
And you keep walking anyway 
The perfect gift ain't the spectacular view 
It's the only body—the one that stays 
The only body—the one that stays 
The only body is the one that stays

Daily Devotions with Pastor John David Mull of Shepherd of The Valley on the three-year Lectionary Readings. Lectionary C, 18th Sunday After Pentecost.

Psalm 111

2 Timothy 2:1-13

Daily Devotions and Weekly Messages from God's Word with John David Mull - Christ-follower, husband, and father.  Pastor of Shepherd of the Valley Church in West Des Moines, IA.

My name is John. I have been a broadcaster for five years and have been writing music and poetry for twenty years. I didn’t even realize I could read and write until I discovered I have mirror-touch synesthesia. I perceive everything from right to left: my poetry, words, and compassion. My childhood was challenging, to put it mildly. However, God showed me a way to help others through the words I share. Every song I write serves as a ministry. By addressing various issues, I hope to assist those with troubled pasts find healing through my words. I am a pastor, and this is how I spread God’s message—by feeling the emotions around me and understanding the feelings of the people I encounter, because I have experienced similar struggles. God allows me to see you in ways that others cannot.
