WADE IN THE WATER

(trad. African American, some verses by Paul Ashton)

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

Who are those children there dressed in red?
    God's gonna trouble the waters
Must be the children that Moses led
    God's gonna trouble the waters

	Wade in the water ...

Who are those children there dressed in white?
    God's gonna trouble the waters
Must be the people getting ready for the fight
    God's gonna trouble the waters

	Wade in the water ...

Who are those children there dressed in blue?
    God's gonna trouble the waters
Must be the people gonna see this through
    God's gonna trouble the waters

	Wade in the water ...

Who are those children there dressed in black?
    God's gonna trouble the waters
Must be the hypocrites turning back
    God's gonna trouble the waters

	Wade in the water ...

He spoke and divided the sea in two
    God's gonna trouble the waters
Allowing all his people to pass on through
    God's gonna trouble the waters

	Wade in the water ...

He spoke and the water flowed back again
    God's gonna trouble the waters
And drowned the oppressors pursuing them
    God's gonna trouble the waters

	Wade in the water ...

The enemy's great but my Captain's strong
    God's gonna trouble the waters
I'm marchin' to the City and the road ain't long
    God's gonna trouble the waters

	Wade in the water ...
