“Honey In The Rock (feat. Brandon Lake)” Lyrics
Intro Chorus
There’s honey in the rock water in the stone
Manna on the ground no matter where I go
I don’t need to worry now that I know
Everything I need You’ve got
There’s honey in the rock
Verse 1
Praying for a miracle thirsty for the Living Well
Only You can satisfy
Verse 2
Sweetness at the mercy seat
Now I’ve tasted, it’s not hard to see
Only You can satisfy
Vamp
There’s honey in the rock There’s honey in the rock
There’s honey in the rock There’s honey in the rock
Verse 3
Freedom where the Spirit is
Bounty in the wilderness
You will always satisfy
Chorus
There’s honey in the rock water in the stone
Manna on the ground no matter where I go
I don’t need to worry now that I know
Everything I need You’ve got
There’s honey in the rock purpose in Your plan
Power in the blood healing in Your hands
Started flowing when You said it is done
Everything You did’s enough
Bridge 1
I keep looking, I keep finding
You keep giving, keep providing

I keep praising, You keep proving
I have all that I need
You are all that I need
Bridge 2

Chorus
There’s honey in the rock
Water in the stone manna on the ground
No matter where I go I don’t need to worry
Now that I know everything I need You’ve got

Power in the blood healing in Your hands
Started flowing when You said it is done
Jesus, who You are is enough

There’s honey in the rock There’s honey in the rock
Ending
Oh how sweet, how sweet it is
To trust in You, Jesus
Oh how sweet, how sweet it is
To trust in You, Jesus
Oh how sweet, how sweet it is
To trust in You, Jesus
So, I heard this song at church, tried to figure out what this song was talking about, and ended up here. I looked up Psalms 89 (and 98, just in case) in Amplified, NIV, and KJV, but it says nothing about honey. I don’t understand.
Found it: Psalm 81
