Refrain:
Wade in the water, wade in the water, children,
wade in the water, Go's a-goin'-a trouble the water.
See that host all dress in white,
Gpd's a-goin'-a trouble the water.
the leader looks leader looks like the Israelite.
God's a-goin'-a trouble the water. Refrain
See that band all dress in red,
Gpd's a-goin'-a trouble the water.
looks like the band that Moses led
God's a-goin'-a trouble the water. Refrain
Look over yonder, what do I see?
Gpd's a-goin'-a trouble the water.
the Holy Ghost a-coming on me.
God's a-goin'-a trouble the water. Refrain
If you don't believe I've been redeemed,
God's a-goin'-a trouble the water.
just follow me down to Jordan's stream.
God's a-goin'-a trouble the water. Refrain
