Hi Guest,
The words are from an old African-American spiritual. Here are the full lyrics--as with many spirituals, there are many versions. Here is a popular one:
Chorus
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children,
Wade in the water
God's a-going to trouble the water
1.
See that host all dressed in white
God's a-going to trouble the water
The leader looks like the Israelite
God's a-going to trouble the water
2.
See that band all dressed in red
God's a-going to trouble the water
Looks like the band that Moses led
God's a-going to trouble the water
3.
Look over yonder, what do you see?
God's a-going to trouble the water
The Holy Ghost a-coming on me
God's a-going to trouble the water
4.
If you don't believe I've been redeemed
God's a-going to trouble the water
Just follow me down to the Jordan's stream
God's a-going to trouble the water
Hope it helps. God bless!
Steve

Can any body help me with this on, Who was the original Publisher and writer of Wade In The Water
Wade in the water
It's quite impossible to say who actually wrote this song, as spirituals were the folk songs of African-American slaves. Harriet Tubman used this song as one of her signals to caution runaway slaves to travel through the water to keep the slave cathers' dogs from picking up their scents. As the spiritual songs were passed from generation to generation, they picked up additional verses. Here's another one.
Who are these children all dressed in Blue?
God's gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that made it through.
God's gonna trouble the water.
The Ramsey Lewis Trio helped make this song popular in the 1960s.
