Wade in the Water - The Petersens (LIVE)

We've been performing "Wade in the Water" live for a while now and finally took the time to record it! Julianne fell in love with Eva Cassidy's acoustic cover of this song a couple years ago and we've played it ever since. Hope y'all enjoy!

►Another Petersen falls for the "hold on I wasn't recording" trick:

►LYRICS - Wade in 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 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 Israelites
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 are coming through
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

You don't believe I've been redeemed
Wade in the water
Just seen the Holy Ghost 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

My God, what a treasure this Julianne vocal is. If there is one song that embodies her style and grace, it is this one. Outstanding and without peer is this recording of Wade in the Water.

[CarpentierElisabethMichel]

My old dad died yesterday morning. Tonight I wanted to write a text for the funeral, but I was so sad that I couldn't write anything. So I connected to your youtube channel.
Thank you for bringing peace and serenity back to my heart. I will now be able to tell my family and friends about dad.
thank you Julianne for this song thank you The petersens for all you do you are great.
I hope this Google translation will be correct

Julianne has the perfect voice for this song: ethereal, delicate, a little mysterious. If God troubled the waters, it's easy to imagine it sounding like this.

[colinfew]

when she cracks her voice to hit that high one it breaks me. love this

[juan_a_otero]

My initial comment was going to be, “Wow, Julianne really rocked this song”. But the truth is, everyone of you rocked it. Matt’s intro, Julianne’s voice and Mandolin solo, Emmet and Katie’s solos, and Ellen and Mama, it was all perfect. Y’all are great. Keep it up and God bless!

[ahoychloe]

It's rare to find a song that makes you feel happy and sad all at once.

Your dobro player knows music. When to bring it on or when less is more. He IS GREAT. A GREAT ADDITION to the "family ".

[thomascraig]

This family has a ridiculous amount of talent.

[zsoltberces]

Awesome!

Actually, the best & luckiest moment of 2020 was, when I found The Petersens in February.

[braddixon]

Whenever i see Julianne as the main singer, I just sit back and enjoy. Just something about her style and voice that really draws me in. Thanks to the whole family for a great performance, just really appreciate you folks.

[adrianocortessantos]

The Petersens' musicality gives us peace in cloudy and difficult times, a lot of humanity and hope. Thank you for your existence in our lives.

[c.]

That stumbled guitar lick on this song was GENIUS !

[TomCrosman]

Love Julianne’s voice. Her mandolin solo was outstanding too.

[herbcounselorh]

Julianne's voice is tremendous, lovely, wonderful! Emmet's dobro rocks! Katie's fiddle is as always, awesome. May God bless and keep you all by His grace through Christ our Lord.

[steveessex]

A whole family Of Stars wow, The Girls all have voices of angels and all are beautiful

[kathrynreissauthor]

It's lovely to see the siblings checking in with each other as they play and sing. Real musicianship!

[jimr]

Love Julianne!!! Her voice and mandolin are going to be really missed while she's at college. We look forward to seeing ALL of you for the Christmas shows. Yes, even you, Matt :-)

[dharryg]

To say that the little woman on the bass has improved the world five-fold by bringing these talented kids into the world would be an understatement.

[bryan.conrad]

When she's singing harmony just modestly plucking at the mandolin you might not realize she can croon with as much soul as you like. Always a treat to hear Julianne take the lead on this one.
