Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's a-going to trouble the water
Now the first step I took in Jordan
Well the water came to my knees
So I took another step in Jordan
And the water came to my waist
So I waded a little further down in Jordan
And the water came over my head
And I looked and saw a man up on Canaan side
He was a-making a dying bed
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's a-going to trouble the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's a-going to trouble the water
Now the first step I took in Jordan
Well the water came to my knees
So I took another step in Jordan
And the water came to my waist
So I waded a little further down in Jordan
And the water came over my head
And I looked and saw a man up on Canaan side
He was a-making a dying bed
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's a-going to trouble the water
