Refrain:
Wade in the water,
Wade in the water, children,
Wade in the water,
God’s a-goin' to trouble the water.
O Wade in the water,
Wade in the water, children,
Wade in the water,
God’s a-goin' to trouble the water.
1 See that host all dressed in white,
God’s a-goin' to trouble the water;
The Leader looks like the Israelite,
God’s a-goin' to trouble the water. [Refrain]
2 See that band all dressed in red,
God’s a-goin' to trouble the water;
Looks like the band that Moses led,
God’s a-goin' to trouble the water. [Refrain]
3 Look over yonder, what do I see?
God’s a-goin' to trouble the water;
The Holy Ghost a- coming on me,
God’s a-goin' to trouble the water. [Refrain]
4 If you don’t believe I’ve been redeemed,
God’s a-goin' to trouble the water;
Just follow me down to Jordan’s stream,
God’s a-goin' to trouble the water. [Refrain]
