Lyrics

Jesus is calling
"wade in the water"
telling you to wade
"wade in the water"
come and wade
"wade in the water"
yeah
"and repent your sins for the soul?"

Jesus is calling
telling you to wade
"wade in the water"
come on and wade
"wade in the water"
"and repent your sins for the soul?"

Satan thought he had me
now I know he;s mad.
The Lord he saved my soul and he made me
and now I'm free at last

Jesus is calling
"wade in the water"
telling you to wade
"wade in the water"
why don't you wade 
"wade in the water"
"and repent your sins for the soul?"

my soulless? christian journey
trying to save the soul
If I live right I'll win the fight
Jesus have made me whole

Jesus is calling
"wade in the water"
telling you to wade
"wade in the water"
come and wade
"wade in the water"
yeah
"and repent your sins for the soul?"

I know you want to wade 
in the water
"in the water" (repeats)
wade 
in the water
you find joy 
in the water
you find love 
in the water
peace 
in the water
joy 
took Jesus
in the water
?
in the water
joy
joy
joy
in the water
I don't know you day
in the water
your day might have been monday
in the water
your day might have been tuesday
but it was joy 
in the water
your day might have been weary
in the water
but it was joy 
in the water
your day might have been thursday
in the water
but it was joy
in the water
in the water
in the water
in the water
joy in the water
love in the water
my day was on a friday
