(Wade in the water)

Wade in the water
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
God is gonna trouble these waters

See that band all dressed in white
God is gonna trouble these waters
It look like a band of the Israelites
God is gonna trouble these waters

See that band all dressed in red
God is gonna trouble these waters
Look like a band that Moses led
God is gonna trouble these waters

My Lord delivered Daniel well
Daniel well, Daniel well
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel well
Then why not every man?

Man went down to the river
Man went down to the river, Lord
Man went down to the river
Went down there for to pray

Man went down to the river
Man went down to the river, Lord
Man went down to the river
To wash his sins all away

Washed all day, washed all night
Washed till his hands were sore
Washed all day, washed all night
Till he couldn't wash a-no more

(Hey)
Man went down to the river
Man went down to the river, Lord
Man went down to the river
Went down there for to pray

Man went down to the river
Man went down to the river, Lord
Man went down to the river
Washed his sins all away

Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God is gonna trouble these waters

Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God is gonna trouble these waters
God is gonna trouble these waters
God is gonna trouble these waters
