| Text: | Wade in the Water |
| Tune: | WADE IN THE WATER |
| Arranger: | Carl Haywood |
Refrain:
Wade in the water, wade in the water, children,
wade in the water, God’s a-gonna trouble the water.
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.
The Holy Ghost a-coming 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.
Just follow me down to Jordan’s stream,
God’s a-gonna trouble the water. [Refrain]
