Lyrics to “Honey in the Rock”:

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

Praying for a miracle
Thirsty for the living well
Only You can satisfy
Sweetness at the mercy seat
Now I've tasted, it's not hard to see
Only You can satisfy

There's honey in the rock
There's honey in the rock
There's honey in the rock
There's honey in the rock (yeah)

Freedom where the Spirit is
Bounty in the wilderness
You will always satisfy, yeah

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 is enough

I keep looking, I keep finding
You keep giving, keep providing
I have all that I need
You are all that I need
I keep praying, You keep moving
I keep praising, You keep proving
I have all that I need
You are all that I need

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 (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 (Jesus)
Jesus, who You are is enough

There's honey in the rock, ooh
(There's honey in the rock, ooh)
There's honey in the rock, ooh
(There's honey in the rock)

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
