Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
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
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
Who's that yonder dressed in white?
Wade in the water
Must be the children of the Israelites
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
Who's that yonder dressed in blue?
Wade in the water
Must be the children that's coming through
God's gonna trouble the water, yeah
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
And God's gonna trouble the water
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
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
