Lyrics
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
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
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
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
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
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
(Milk and honey)
(Milk and honey)

Meaning & Inspiration
Crowder’s “Milk and Honey” combines biblical images of promised abundance, resurrection, and God’s coming kingdom. Golden streets, freedom, gathered saints, and the absence of tombstones portray a future shaped entirely by God’s presence. Yet the lyric does not confine hope to the life to come. Its appeal for power now and its images of life rising in graveyards and water flowing through wastelands bring restoration into present prayer.
The golden streets recall Revelation 21:21, while the vision of a place without tombstones corresponds with Revelation 21:4, where death and mourning are no more. The wasteland imagery also resembles Isaiah 43:19, which speaks of God making a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. By joining these pictures, the song holds future promise beside present expectation. “Kingdom come” becomes both a hope for final renewal and a prayer that signs of God’s restoring rule would appear amid death, hatred, and barrenness.
