Eva Cassidy - Wade in the Water

[rodsreel]

This girl must have made heaven shine even brighter when she arrived there, we are blessed to have her music.

[z-man]

After listening to music for 60 some years now, I've learned two things for certain. 1. God is a music lover. 2 He is impatient.

[daviddelagarma]

A masterpiece from Eva Cassidy. She combines Gospel with Blues and Jazz to get a song that meanders beautifully and takes you to ecstasy.

[noelpillman]

Eva's music is not catagorizable (blues, jazz, gospel, folk). She could sing them all. What a gift she had to share with us. Thank you, Eva.

Harriet Tubman sang this song to warn escaped slaves to get off the trail and go in the water and escape slave owners and their dogs.

I heard this song at school. In those days when it was allowed to praise God in school. I also remember the Bible meetings. I think humanity has forgotten that there is a God.

[paulaarmstrong]

I played this to my daughter everyday whilst she was in the womb, and when she was a baby if ever she cried I only had to start singing it and she would immediately stop crying. I have just played it to her now she is fifteen and she has no memory of it! It was very useful though, especially on car journeys.

As I journey on the path that Eva traveled before she died of cancer, I am uplifted and comforted by her music. I silently ask God, when can I go home? And through my tears, God tells me to persevere for another day.

[gynack]

Great blend of Jazz, Gospel and Blues. Is there anybody doing anything like this today? It's a tragedy that Eva died so young when there was so much more that she could have achieved, so much more that we would have had the privilege of listening to.

[szatanowska]

👍🏻 I'm dying now that's why I'm listening to this before my death, hopefully I met with this amazing singer in heaven 👂🏻🙏🏻

[kukupiku]

I just adore this voice! This is my favourite song, after "Autumn leaves".

[Treebard]

Eva is a balm to my soul. There's noone with a voice, presentation, vibrato like her. RIP blessed lady.

Just gonna leave the lyrics here:
Wade in the water
Wade in the water 
Children wade, in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
Who's that young girl dressed in red
Wade in the water
Must be the children that Moses led
God's gonna trouble the water

Wade in the water, wade in the water children
Wade in the water,
God's gonna trouble the water

Who's that young girl dressed in white
Wade in the water
Must be the children of the Israelite
Oh, God's gonna trouble the water

Wade in the water, wade in the water children
Wade in the water,
God's gonna trouble the water

Who's that young girl dressed in blue
Wade in the water
Must be the children that's coming through,
God's gonna trouble the water, yeah

Wade in the water, wade in the water children
Wade in the water,
God's gonna trouble the water

You don't believe I've been redeemed,
Wade in the water
Just so the whole lake goes looking for me
God's gonna trouble the water

Wade in the water, wade in the water children
Wade in the water,
God's gonna trouble the water

[leebo]

Wow. She could sing anything, literally. Pure class.

[Theodicy]

One of the best voices ever! Amazingly unique interpretations of so many songs. Taken from us WAY too early. RIP Eva; thank you!!

[jennieosborne]

So far this is my favorite sing by Eva Cassidy.

[janabrandialibrandi]

I performed an AFRICAN Jazz dance to this w my old dance teacher...we met again as adults while taking adult courses. Amen.

[acousticsong-guitarco]

Never overdoing it, such an easiness. Beautiful artist.

[brendamailman]

So love the way Eva sings 'Wade in the water' Beautiful and soulful

[LilChelle]

This song never fails to make me cry for two reasons. The first is I know what the song is about and the second our dog had cancer with seizures and wouldnt eat or drink but if I sang this song hed drink water (he was only this way briefly prior to his passing).
