They say the grass is green as jade
In the promised land
And mossy trees give endless shade
In the promised land
And crystal waters flow like wine
I understand
I'm going there, going there

I'm told the sky is sapphire blue
In the promised land
And rain will never cloud the view
In the promised land
And Jesus rules as Lord of all
At God's right hand
I'm going there, going there

Oh, I want to go
Where the milk and honey flow
Where Jesus is the light
Where He's building me a home
Oh, I want to be
Where my Father waits for me
Longing for the day I finally stand
In the promised land, mm-hmm

I hear the days are timeless there
In the promised land
And heartache doesn't have a prayer
In the promised land
And praises of our God
Are sung by every man
I'm going there, going there
Oh, I want to go
Where the milk and honey flow
Where Jesus is the light
Where He's building me a home
Oh, I want to be
Where my Father waits for me
I'm longing for the day I finally stand
In the promised land

No need to beg or borrow
Nothing else to bring along
In a land where there's no tomorrow
'Cause today is forever long

I want to go
Where the milk and honey flow
Where Jesus is the light
Where He's building me a home
Whoa, I want to be
Where my Father waits for me
I'm longing for the day I finally stand
In the promised land

Oh, I want to go
Where the milk and honey flow
Where Jesus is the light
Where He's building me a home
Oh, I want to be
Where my Father waits for me
I'm longing for the day I finally stand
In the promised land
In the promised land
