Refrain:
Wade in the Water
Wade in the Water, children
Wade in the Water
God's gonna trouble the Water
Who's that yonder dressed in red
Wade in the Water
Must be the Children that Moses led
And God's gonna trouble the Water
Refrain [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/eva_cassidy/wade_in_the_water.html ]
Who's that yonder dressed in white
Wade in the Water
Must be the Children of the Israelites
God's gonna trouble the Water
Refrain
Who's that yonder dressed in blue
Wade in the Water
Must be Children that's coming through
And God's gonna trouble the Water
Refrain
If you don't believe I've been redeemed
Wade in the Water
Just see the holy ghost looking for me
God's gonna trouble the Water
