[Verse 1]
I'm headed to a place where the rivers flow
I'm headed to a place where the streets are gold
Oh my soul (Oh my soul)
This I know (This I know)
You won't need no money, you can't bring your fame
Soon the day is coming when we will see His face
[Chorus]
Choirs will be singing, saints on bended knee
Angels will be dancing, we will all be free
God in all His glory as far as you can see
It's like every day is Sunday in the land of milk and honey
[Verse 2]
I'm headed to a place where the flowers grow
I'm headed to a place with no tombstones
Sing my soul (Sing my soul)
Until I'm home (Until I'm home)
You can bring your money, you can bring your fame
Forever there is only one name above all names
[Chorus]
Choirs will be singing, saints on bended knee
Angels will be dancing, we will all be free
God in all His glory as far as you can see
It's like every day is Sunday in the land of milk and honey
We don't have to wait till the other side
To the see the dead come back to life
We don't have to wait till the trumpet sounds
We're calling down Your power now
We don't have to wait till the other side
To the see the dead come back to life
We don't have to wait till the trumpet sounds
We're calling down Your power now
[Verse 3]
Grass growing in the graveyards
Spring on up, spring on up
Water flowing in the wastelands
Let it run, let it run
Hope growing where there was none
Love flowing where the hate was
Promised land waiting on us
Kingdom come, Kingdom come
[Chorus]
Choirs will be singing, saints on bended knee
Angels will be dancing, we will all be free
God in all His glory as far as you can see
It's like every day is Sunday in the land of milk and honey
[Verse 4]
(Milk and honey)
(Milk and honey)
Milk and Honey
Song Meaning
Crowder describes heaven with an old, specific Old Testament phrase rather than a generic image in "Milk and Honey" — "I'm headed to a place where the rivers flow... it's like every day is Sunday in the land of milk and honey," directly borrowing the description God gave Israel for the promised land. Money and fame are named and dismissed together: "you won't need no money, you can't bring your fame."
"Choirs will be singing, saints on bended knee, angels will be dancing, we will all be free" keeps the vision communal rather than solitary, filled with other people rather than private bliss. The bridge makes an unusually bold claim about timing — "we don't have to wait till the other side, to see the dead come back to life... we're calling down Your power now" — insisting the promised future isn't only a destination but something breaking into the present already.
"Grass growing in the graveyards... hope growing where there was none" closes the song with resurrection imagery applied to ordinary, unglamorous places, treating the promised land less as a far-off reward and more as something already starting to arrive.
