Lyrics:

Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's going to trouble the water

Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's going to trouble the water

See those children all dressed in white?
God's going to trouble the water
Looking like the children of the Israelites
God's going to trouble the water

The river Jordan is chilly and cold
God's going to trouble the water
It chills my body but not my soul
God's going to trouble the water

He going to wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's going to trouble the water

See those children all dressed in red?
God's going to trouble the water
Looking like the children that Moses led
God's going to trouble the water

If you get there before I do
God's going to trouble the water
Tell all my friends that I'm a coming home too
God's going to trouble the water

He going to wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's going to trouble the water

He going to trouble the water
He going to trouble the water
Wade on the
He going to trouble the water
He going to trouble the water
