Deep water, muddy water 
Old memory
Gotta cross it, get across it,
Won’t let me be
Lord, I’m weary, but I will stand
Freedom’s calling from the promised land
Deep water, muddy water
Old memory

Deep water, muddy water
Old memory
Gotta cross it, get across it,
Won’t let me be
Hear you Lord, what you telling me to do
But the water’s so deep, can’t see into that
Deep water, muddy water
Old memory

Deep water, muddy water
Old memory
Gotta cross it, get across it,
Won’t let me be
Wading in Lord, hold to my hand
Current come take me so I can stand in the
Deep water, muddy water
Old memory
