Wade in the Water Lyrics

Paroles de la chanson Wade In The Water :

(Chorus)
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water

Well, who are these children all dressed in red?
God's a-gonna trouble the water
Must be the children that Moses led
God's a-gonna trouble the water

Chorus

Who's that young girl dressed in white
Wade in the Water
Must be the Children of Israelites
God's gonna trouble the Water

Chorus

Jordan'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

Chorus

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

Chorus
See that ban' all dress'd in white?
It look lak the childr'n of the Israelite
See that ban' all dress'd in red?
It look lak the ban' that Moses led
Wade in de water
Wade in de water
Wade in de water
God's a-gonna trouble de water

I stepped in water and the water is cold
Don't you know that
God's gonna trouble the water
Said it chilled my body but not my soul
Don't you know that
God's gonna trouble the water

Chorus

Well I went to the water one day to pray
Don't you know that
God's gonna trouble the water
And my soul got happy and I stayed all day
Don't you know that
God's gonna trouble the wate
