La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
Wade in the water
We dey wade in the water
Children wade in the water
God said he's gonna trouble the water
Wade in the water
We dey wade in the water
Children wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
We are the sons and the daughters
We gotta stand up and make it loud
Just like our God told the Pharaoh
Let my people go, go
We are a new generation
From the ones who have come before
He's calling us into freedom
Let my people go, go
Wade in the water
We dey wade in the water
Children wade in the water
God said he's gonna trouble the water
Wade in the water
We dey wade in the water
Children wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
We are the sons and the daughters
We gotta stand up and make it loud
Just like our God told the Pharaoh
Let my people go, go
We are a new generation
From the ones who have come before
He's calling us into freedom
Let my people go, go
We no go shy, no go shame
Ibi your papa God wey, 'e make the heavens
If you know sey you no want trouble
Let my people go, go
With blood, sweat and tears
That we've gathered through the years
If you know sey you no want trouble
Let my people go, go
Wade in the water
We dey wade in the water
Children wade in the water
God said he's gonna trouble the water
Wade in the water
We dey wade in the water
Children wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
Wade in the water
We dey wade in the water
Children wade in the water
God's said he's gonna trouble the water
Wade in the water
We dey wade in the water
Children wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
