Honey in the Rock: inside the lyrics and their meaning
Honey In The Rock is a verse from the Holy Scripture, Psalm 81, Verse 16:
“He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat, and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.”
The Bible verse means that God provides us everything we need, even from the sources and the situations where we least expect it. Honey usually cannot be found in rocks, but God’s will makes it possible if only rocks are around us.
From this point of view, the song’s lyrics have a grateful meaning: wherever we are, we don’t need to worry because God is always next to us and provides us with what we genuinely 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
Everything I need You’ve got
There’s honey in the rock
Being faithful means relying on God in moments of difficulties. It’s a reassuring consequence of being God’s Children: we trust Him and know He guides and protects us in every situation. That gives us the safe feelings we need to live a life in harmony with His words.
What’s interesting is that Brooke Ligertwood chose this verse about honey, among many others. Honey is sweet par excellence, which usually should represent something not strictly necessary. But God’s love doesn’t want us to survive only with what’s essential: He can also give us sweetness in the wild contexts where our spirit drives us. This interpretation comes out from the following lines in the song:
Sweetness at the mercy seat
Now I’ve tasted, it’s not hard to see
Only You can satisfy
Freedom where the Spirit is
Bounty in the wilderness
You will always satisfy
Therefore, that’s the real meaning of the lyrics inside Honey In The Rock: we fully trust God’s plan for us, and we know that He’s always protecting us, whatever happens, wherever we go. And even when we feel lost and only see rocks around us, we know that He will give us His sweet love. Even if it takes placing honey in the rock.
