Lyrics and chords

Am  G          F   E7
    Wade in the water
Am  G           F     E7 
    Wade in the water, children,
    Am G F      E7 
    Wade in the water
   Am                           E7  Am 
    God's a-going to trouble the water

    Am        G        F          E7
    See that host all dressed in white
Am    G         F   E7 
    Wade in the water ...
  Am           G              F    E7 
    The leader looks like the Israelite
  Am                            E7  Am 
    God's a-going to trouble the water

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

Look over yonder, what do you see?
Wade in the water ...
The Holy Ghost is watching over me
God's a-going to trouble the water

The woman at the well said to Jesus the Jew,
"Moshiach will tell us all things"  He said,
"I am He that is speaking to you ...
ask and He would give you living water"

    Living water, Living water children
    Living water, ask and He will give you living water

You see the children dressed up in blue
God's gonna trouble the water
Looks like my people are coming on though
God's gonna trouble the water

See those children all dressed in green
God's gonna trouble the water
you know they're moving down to that Jordan stream
God's gonna trouble the water

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

Strumming Pattern

• D or U means a Down strum or an Up strum ensuring you hit some strings along the way
• d or u means a Down strum or an Up strum ensuring you so NOT hit any strings along the way

A new stanza I assembled from John 4

• from verses around John 4:9-26

The woman at the well said to Jesus the Jew,
"Moshiach will tell us all things"  He said,
"I am He that is speaking to you ...
ask and He would give you living water"

Living water, Living water children
Living water, ask and He will give you living water

To ask or be asked, He said, "Give Me a drink"
He would have given you living water
You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep.
Where can you get [this] living water

The woman at well told Jesus the Jew
Moshiach will tell us all things
He said, "I am he, the one who speaks to you"

When I get to Heaven
Sing and shout
God's gonna trouble the water
Nobody there turn me out
God's gonna trouble the water

Well, Jesus met the woman ...
met her at the well
God's gonna trouble the water
He said Look out lady

Sing and shout
God's gonna trouble the water
Nobody there turn me out
God's gonna trouble the water
