WADE IN THE WATER (SPIRITUAL)
Jan. 21st, 2011 04:29 amЭтот сверх-популярный спиричуэлс, один из "песен свободы" изначально был обращен к беглым рабам, которым следует идти по воде, чтобы собаки их не почуяли, а уж Бог позаботится об остальном. Однако по содержанию он намного шире: тут поется и об одетых в красное молодых, которых вел Моисей, и об одетых в белое Израилитов, и об одетых в голубое, которые прошли – а если кто не верит в Возрождение, то пусть последует за Богом в воды реки Иордан. Поэтому его пели при крещении, т.к. слова "wade in the water" и "god's gonna trouble the water" символичны для Христа, который обратил свой народ через Крещение.
Chorus:
Wade in the water,
Wade in the water children.
Wade in the water
God’s gonna trouble the water
Who’s all those children all dressed in Red?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that Moses led.
God’s gonna trouble the water.
What are those children all dressed in White?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones of the Israelites.
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Who are these children all dressed in Blue?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that made it through.
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Look over yonder, what do you see?
God's a-going to trouble the water
The Holy Ghost a-coming on me
God's a-going to trouble the water
If you don't believe I've been redeemed
God's a-going to trouble the water
Just follow me down to the Jordan's stream
God's a-going to trouble the water
