Wade in the water, children,

See that band all dressed in red,
God’s a-goin' to trouble the water;
Looks like the band that Moses led,
God’s a-goin' to trouble the water.

The Holy Ghost a- coming on me,
God’s a-goin' to trouble the water.

If you don’t believe I’ve been redeemed,
God’s a-goin' to trouble the water;
Just follow me down to Jordan’s stream,
God’s a-goin' to trouble the water.
