Wade in the Water Songtext
von Sweet Honey in the Rock

And when there is a promise of a storm
If you want change in your life walk into it
If you get on the other side you will be different
And if you want change in your life and you are avoiding the trouble
You can forget it
So Harry, let′s say wade on in the water
It's gonna really be troubled water

Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God′s gonna trouble the water

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

Oh, see those people, how they dressed in white
(God's gonna trouble the water)
You know they look like the children of the Israelites
Yeah he′s (God′s gonna trouble the water)


Come-on and wade, come-on wade in the water (wade in the water)
Wade in the water, children
Wade, wade in the water (wade in the water)
My God's gonna trouble the water

Well, you see those children resting their heads
(God′s gonna trouble the water)
Well, well, well
Well, you know they come a long way and ain't turning back
(God′s gonna trouble the water)
No, no, no
No, no, no

It look like I gotta wade, I gotta wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade, wade in the water (wade in the water)
God's gonna trouble the water

Well, you see them children dressed in black
(God′s gonna trouble the water)
Well, looks like my people dressed in blue
(God's gonna trouble the water)

Come-on and wade, come-on wade in the water (wade in the water)
Wade in the chilly water, children
Wade, wade in the water (wade in the water)
'Cause my God′s gonna trouble the water


See them children dressed in red
God′s gonna trouble the water
Well, it must be the children that Moses led
God's gonna trouble the water

It look like I gotta wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
′Cause God's gonna trouble the water

You know some say Peter and some say Paul
(God′s gonna trouble the water)
But there ain't but the one God made us all
(God′s gonna trouble the water)

Oh, wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade, wade in the water
'Cause my God's gonna trouble the water

You know my God′s gonna trouble the water
Yes my God′s gonna trouble the water
