Wade in the water,
Wade in the water, children,
Wade in the water,
God's gonna trouble the water.
See that host all dressed in white,
God's gonna trouble the water,
The leader looks like the Israelite,
God's gonna trouble the water.
Wade in the water,
Wade in the water, children,
Wade in the water,
God's gonna trouble the water.
See that band all dressed in red,
God's gonna trouble the water,
Looks like the band that Moses led,
God's gonna trouble the water.
So wade in the water,
Wade in the water, children,
Wade in the water,
God's gonna trouble the water.
Look over yonder, what do you see?
God gonna trouble the water,
The Holy Ghost coming to me,
God gonna trouble the water.
So wade in the water,
Wade in the water, children,
Wade in the water,
God's gonna trouble the water.
If you don't believe I've been redeemed,
God's gonna trouble the water,
Just follow me down to Jordan's stream,
God's gonna trouble the water.
