Classic Poem

Wade in de water, children,
God's a-going to trouble the water.

See that host all dressed in white,
God's…
The leader looks like the Israelite [John the Baptist],
God's.

See that host all dressed in red…
Looks like the band that Moses led…

Look over yonder, what do I see?…
The Holy Ghost a-coming on me…

If you don't believe I've been redeemed…
Just follow me down to Jordan's stream…
