Wade in the Water

Representative Text

Refrain:
Wade in the water,
wade in the water, children,
wade in the water.
God’s gonna trouble the water.

1 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. [Refrain]

2 See that band all dressed in red, …
Looks like the band that Moses led.

3 If you don’t believe I’ve been redeemed, …
Just follow me down to Jordan’s stream.
