Lyrics

Verse 1:
I'm not worried about tomorrow or the trials it may bring,
for my faith, I am the Victor, I can conquer anything.
I cast my cares at Your feet and Lord, You comfort me,
and by faith I pray that you...
(wave your troubles away).


Verse 2:
Though it seems life isn't fair and it seems you can't find joy anywhere,
you can rest assured in one thing, with Christ, life has new meaning.
In Christ, the answer is there,
to comfort your spirit and make you aware;
hear me when I say, you can...
(wave your troubles away).


Chorus:
When you give Him praise, (the victory you proclaim).
When you give Him praise, (you drive the enemy away).
(Wave your hands in the air and wave away your cares),
(Hear me when I say you can...) wave your troubles away.


Verse 3:
Don't you be discouraged when fate threatens your life,
hold your head up high, in Christ you can survive.
In your lowest minute, Jesus Christ, He's in it;
hear me when I say you can (wave your troubles away).


Bridge:
Bye-bye troubles, (you thought that you could win).
Bye-bye problems, (don't you know I conquered you again),
(I never had a doubt that You would bring me out);
hear me when I say, you can (wave your troubles away).


Bye-bye sorrow, (you thought that you would win).
bye-bye trials, (don't you know I'm gonna conquer you again),
(I never had a doubt that You would bring me out);
hear me when I say, you can (wave your troubles away).


Vamp 1:
Whatever your problem is, wave it away.
Whatever your trouble is, wave it away.


Vamp 2:
Give them to Jesus,
give them to Jesus, He can bear them.

Meaning & Inspiration

“Wave It Away” frames praise as a declaration of confidence when trouble, sorrow, and uncertainty press in. The verses acknowledge unfair circumstances and discouragement without treating them as final. Instead, the song places care at Christ’s feet and returns repeatedly to His comfort, strength, and ability to carry burdens. Its central gesture of waving troubles away represents surrender rather than denial: anxiety is handed over to Jesus while praise announces trust in His victory.

The chorus connects worship with resistance to fear, and the bridge turns problems and trials into defeated opponents. That language closely fits the biblical call to cast every anxiety on God because He cares, as well as Paul’s instruction to bring requests to God with thanksgiving. The repeated assurance that Christ gives life new meaning keeps the song focused on dependence upon Him. Across its verses and vamps, praise becomes an active confession that present distress does not outrank divine care or determine the final outcome.
