Author: Richard Washington Hymnal: Songs of the Kingdom (3rd ed.) #734 (2015) First Line: Now, see those people dressed in red Lyrics: Refrain:
Wade in the water,
Wade in the water, children;
Wade in the water, woh,
God's gonna trouble the water.
1 Now, see those people dressed in red;
God's gonna trouble the water.
They look like the people that Moses led.
God's gonna trouble the water.
Now, see those people dressed in gold;
God's gonna trouble the water.
They look like disciples of Christ, I'm told.
God's gonna trouble the water. [Refrain]
2 Now, I looked over yonder and what did I see;
God's gonna trouble the water.
I saw all of God's angels coming for me.
God's gonna trouble the water.
Now if you don't believe that I've been redeemed;
God's gonna trouble the water.
Then follow me down to Jordan's stream.
God's gonna trouble the water. [Refrain]
3 Like Meshack, Shadrach, and Abednego;
God's gonna trouble the water.
Through faith into the fiery furnace I go.
God's gonna trouble the water.
Like David slew Goliath with just one shot;
God's gonna trouble the water.
My faith in the Lord is fiery hot.
God's gonna trouble the water. [Refrain]
4 I'm sometimes up and sometimes down;
God's gonna trouble the water.
But still my soul is heavenly bound.
God's gonna trouble the water.
I told you once, I'll tell you twice;
God's gonna trouble the water.
I won't bow to nobody but Jesus Christ.
God's gonna trouble the water. [Refrain]
