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

1 See that host all dressed in white,
God's a gonna trouble the water;
The leader looks like the Israelite,
God's a gonna trouble the water. (Refrain)

2 See that band all dressed in red,
God's a gonna trouble the water;
Looks like the band that Moses led,
God's a gonna trouble the water. (Refrain)

3 Look over yonder, what do I see?
God's a gonna trouble the water;
Holy Ghost a comin' on me,
God's a gonna trouble the water. (Refrain)

4 If you don't believe I've been redeemed,
God's a gonna trouble the water;
follow me down to Jordan's stream,
God's a gonna trouble the water. (Refrain)
