Refrain:

Wade in the Water

Wade in the Water, children

wade in the Wate

God's gonna trouble the Water

Who's that yonder dressed in red

Wade in the Water

Must be the Children that Moses led

And God's gonna trouble the Water

Refrain

Who's that yonder dressed in white

Wade in the Water

Must be the Children of the Israelites

God's gonna trouble the Water

Refrain

Who's that yonder dressed in blue

Wade in the Water

Must be Children coming through

And God's gonna trouble the Water

Refrain

If you don't believe I've been redeemed

Wade in the Water

Just see the holy ghost looking for me

God's gonna trouble the Water
