Wave My Hand
Lee Williams & The Spiritual QC's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(I'll just wave my hand).
If I couldn't say one word,
(I'll just wave my hand).
He's been to good, good to me,
kept me out of danger
(if I couldn't say one word),
(I'll just wave my hand).
If I couldn't say one word,
(I'll just wave my hand).
If I couldn't say one word,
(I'll just wave my hand).
He's been to good, good to me,
I just can't forget what He did at Calvary
(if I couldn't say one word),
(I'll just wave my hand).
Couldn't have done what You did,
when You went to Calvary,
You shed Your blood, You shed it for me.
That's why I am standing here on Your word,
I know Your word will forever stand;
(if I couldn't say one word),
(I'll just wave my hand).
I'll just wave my hand.
I'll just wave my hand.
If I couldn't say one word,
I'll just wave my hand.
The lyrics to Lee Williams & The Spiritual QC's "Wave My Hand" express a sense of gratitude and faith in a higher power. The repetition of "If I couldn't say one word, (I'll just wave my hand)" suggests that sometimes words are not enough to express the depth of one's emotions or appreciation. The song speaks to the idea that actions can speak louder than words and that sometimes, there are no words that can capture the greatness of one's blessings.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea that the singer recognizes their own limitations and that they are dependent on a higher power. The line "He's been to good, good to me, kept me out of danger when danger was around me" acknowledges the idea that sometimes bad things happen, but a higher power can protect us from harm. The reference to Calvary, where Jesus was crucified, symbolizes the idea that sacrifices have been made on behalf of humanity and that we are all connected through this shared experience.
Overall, the song's message is one of faith, gratitude, and humility. It acknowledges that sometimes words are not enough to express the depth of our emotions and that we are all dependent on a higher power for our blessings.

This song is SO TIMELY for my family and I! My 13 year old sister has cancer, and Sunday I had gotten a call from my parents asking to gather all of my siblings to come and say our goodbyes… We prayed, we asked for a miracle, and here we are 5 days later and my sister has made a MIRACULOUS recovery and doctors are in AWE!

To the 1% of people who see this comment, God’s not done with you. Don’t stop, be grateful for what you have, Mark 1: 35-45 is a story of how Jesus found a leopard and the man said, “if you are willing, you can heal me.” And Jesus told the man, “ I am willing, be healed.” And the man was healed. I think we forget that God is willing to heal us, we just need to ask him.
