“The message behind  ‘Wade in the water’ is that God will trouble the water for the slaves attempting to escape from servitude on the Underground Railroad, don’t forget that one of the techniques utilized by the slave master to find runaway slaves was to send their hunting dogs out to find the slave.

So the verses were guidance for the out-of-control slave. Assuming they could hear the hound dogs, they are expected to find a waterway and swim in water since, in such a case, the hunting dogs could never again find their trail and the slave would be protected from the canines finding them.

Wade in the water also expresses the word of God in John chapter three where the Bible tells us that from time to time the Lord sends his angels to stir the pool at Bethesda and anyone who jumps into the water first, becomes whole of any form of diseases or problem they came with thus, this song is an anthem of freedom.
