No Herd in the Stalls – A Blues Cry of Faith (Habakkuk 3:17-19)

** In the darkest times, when everything seems lost, where do you turn? Habakkuk 3:17-19 is a hidden gem of unshaken faith-a cry from the depths of hardship that turns into a declaration of trust and victory in God.

This blues song, "No Herd in the Stalls," captures that raw, soul-deep struggle-crops failing, the land barren, and yet… the prophet still chooses to rejoice. This is a song of perseverance, a song of faith when nothing makes sense, a song that speaks to every weary soul walking through the valley.

Let the deep, haunting blues melody take you on a journey-through sorrow, through struggle, and into the strength of Yahweh, who lifts us up to high places. If you've ever felt like you've lost everything, this song is for you.

🔹 Original Scripture (Habakkuk 3:17-19, WEB):

"For though the fig tree doesn't flourish,
nor fruit be in the vines;
the labor of the olive fails,
the fields yield no food;
the flocks are cut off from the fold,
and there is no herd in the stalls:
yet I will rejoice in Yahweh.
I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
Yahweh, the Lord, is my strength.
He makes my feet like deer's feet,
and enables me to go in high places."

🔹 Lyrics:

No Herd in the Stalls (A Blues Song Inspired by Habakkuk 3:17-19)

[Slow, soulful blues groove – heavy on the slide guitar and deep vocals.]

Verse 1
The fig tree don't blossom,
And the vines are dry and bare,
The olive's lost its labor,
Ain't no harvest anywhere.
Fields of dust, barns stand empty,
And the cold wind starts to call,
Ain't no flock in the pasture,
Ain't no herd in the stalls.

Chorus [Strong and resolute]
Yet I will rejoice, I will stand and sing,
The Lord is my strength, He lifts me like the eagle's wing.
Though the world is breaking, I won't lose my song,
My feet keep climbing, even when the road is long.

Verse 2
I've walked through the valley,
Where the darkness took its toll,
Saw the rivers running empty,
Felt the hunger in my soul.
But He makes my feet like the deer's,
So I won't stumble, I won't fall,
Though my hands be trembling,
Still I'll praise Him through it all.

Bridge [Deep, reverberating slide guitar solo, then a hushed, powerful break]
Oh, Yahweh is my salvation,
When the night is long and cold,
He will take me to high places,
Where my weary heart turns bold.

Outro [Fading, soulful, almost whispered]
No herd in the stalls,
No fruit on the vine…
Yet I will rejoice,
For my God is still mine.
