Wade in the water Wade in the water, children, Wade in the water God's a-going to trouble the water See that host all dressed in white God's a-going to trouble the water The leader looks like the Israelite God's a-going to trouble the water See that band all dressed in red God's a-going to trouble the water Looks like the band that Moses led God's a-going to trouble the water Look over yonder, what do you see? God's a-going to trouble the water The Holy Ghost a-coming on me God's a-going to trouble the water If you don't believe I've been redeemed God's a-going to trouble the water Just follow me down to the Jordan's stream God's a-going to trouble the water
