(chorus)
Wade in the water.
Wade in the water, children.
Wade in the water.
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Jordon’s water is chilly and cold.
God’s gonna trouble the water.
It chills the body, but not the soul.
God’s gonna trouble the water.
If you get there before i do.
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Tell all of my friends i’m coming too.
God’s gonna trouble the water.
