David and Goliath: The Shepherd's Stone Blues

** This blues-inspired retelling of the story of David and Goliath captures the power of faith, courage, and divine intervention. David, a young shepherd boy, faced the giant Goliath not with a sword or spear, but with a sling, a stone, and unwavering trust in God. When David heard the Philistine’s challenge, he asked, “What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel?” (1 Samuel 17:26, WEB).

** As Goliath taunted the armies of Israel, David declared, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of Yahweh of Armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied” (1 Samuel 17:45, WEB). Then, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine, armed with his faith and a shepherd’s stone.

David’s battle was not just against a giant but was a stand for the honor of Yahweh and the deliverance of His people. This song, "The Shepherd’s Stone," reflects on that moment, reminding us that with faith in Yahweh, even the greatest giants can fall.

** The Shepherd's Stone Blues Lyrics:

Verse 1
There stood a giant, tall and strong,
In the valley, where the armies belong,
He cried out loud, "Send me a man,"
But all Israel trembled, not one could stand.

Chorus
Oh, David, just a shepherd boy,
With a sling and stones, not a weapon of war,
He said, "In the name of Yahweh, I’ll stand,
For the battle's the Lord's, not in the strength of man."

Verse 2
Goliath mocked, with a laugh so cold,
"Am I a dog that you’re so bold?"
But David knew, with a faith so pure,
That God would deliver, of that he was sure.

Chorus
Oh, David, just a shepherd boy,
With a sling and stones, not a weapon of war,
He said, "In the name of Yahweh, I’ll stand,
For the battle's the Lord's, not in the strength of man."

Bridge
He reached in his bag, pulled a stone so smooth,
Slung it with might, with nothing to prove,
It struck the giant, deep in his brow,
And Goliath fell, oh, he’s down now.

Verse 3
The armies ran, the fear in their eyes,
For the giant lay still, no more to rise,
David took his sword, and ended the fight,
For God showed His power, His truth, His might.

Chorus
Oh, David, just a shepherd boy,
With a sling and stones, not a weapon of war,
He said, "In the name of Yahweh, I’ll stand,
For the battle's the Lord's, not in the strength of man."

Outro
The valley was still, but the lesson was clear,
Faith in the Lord drives away every fear,
David’s blues, sung with courage so bright,
Remind us all of God’s unfailing light.
