God’s a gonna’ trouble the water…
Lyrics from Wade in the Water provide quite a visual. “See that band all dressed in _____” … white for Israelites, red for those Moses led, etc.
The concept of wading in the water is not always a positive one or a guarantee of an easy life, is it? Avoiding slave catchers comes to mind in particular. Less negative examples like the Red Sea, Jordan River and baptismal waters still have associated challenges (HERE is a little Wikipedia history if you’re interest in more.)
ACTION: Consider listening to traditional versions of Wade in the Water or those with WitW influences
- Sistah Lala’s “Troubled Waters” version is HERE – a really nice combination of traditional and faith-filled message in this one
- Chapel Folk’s “Wade in the Water – a Stoned version” is HERE
- A few more traditional versions HERE
