Lyrics
Moses struck the rock
He struck the rock with his staff
And he drew water.
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water.
Miracle upon miracles,
Amen, selah!
Who's that child dressed in white?
God's gonna trouble the water.
It must be the children of the Israelite
God's gonna trouble the water.
And Moses brought a kid
And made him taste honey from the rock
And his voice became like a brook
As clear and as pure as water.
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water—Selah!
Who's that child dressed in red?
God's gonna trouble the water—Selah!
Must be the children that Moses led!
God's gonna trouble the water.
Miracle upon miracles,
Amen, selah!
