The Ambleside Online Folk Song Rotation has "Wade in the Water" selected as the song for February, 2014. 

(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
