River Anacostia Songtext / Lyric

Oh my Anacostia

Do not sigh, do not weep

Beneath the overpass

Your Savior's waiting patiently



Walking on the water

Flowing with the poisons

From the naval yards

He's talking to the fallen reeds



Saying "What will become of us?"

What will become of us?

Oh...



Wade in the water

God's gonna trouble the water






A small red sun makes way for night

Trails away like a tail light

Is that Jesus on the water

Talking to the fallen trees?



Saying "What will become of us?"

What will become of us?

Oh...



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

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

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



What will become if God's gonna trouble waters?

What will become if God's gonna trouble waters?

What will become if God's gonna trouble waters?

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

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

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



Wade in the water

God's gonna trouble the water
