189. Wade in the Water

Refrain:
Wade in the water,
wade in the water, children.
Wade in the water,
God’s gonna trouble the water.

1 See that band all dressed in white.
God’s gonna trouble the water.
The leader looks like an Israelite.
God’s gonna trouble the water. [Refrain]

2 See that band all dressed in red.
God’s gonna trouble the water.
It looks like the children that Moses led.
God’s gonna trouble the water. [Refrain]
