Wade in the water, wade in the water children

Wade in the water, God's gonna trouble the water

See that host all dressed in white, God's gonna trouble the water

The leader looks like an Israelite, God's gonna trouble the water

Wade in the water, wade in the water children

Wade in the water, God's gonna trouble the water

Who are these children dressed in red? God's gonna trouble the water

Must be the children that Moses led, God's gonna trouble the water

Wade in the water, wade in the water children

Wade in the water, God's gonna trouble the water

Jordan's water is dirty and cold, God's gonna trouble the water

It chills the body but not the soul, God's gonna trouble the water

Wade in the water, wade in the water children

Wade in the water, God's gonna trouble the water
