William Murphy III
You said we could come boldly
Before the throne of grace
Now we can feel you glory
As we worship in this place
From the crown of my head (my head), to the souls of my feet (my feet)I can feel your presence all over me
We worship you, in spirit and in truth
We worship you, in spirit and in truth
repeat
We worship (3xs)
II
We bow down before
We exalt your name
Lord our souls are thirsty
We crying out for rain
From the crown of my head (my head), to the souls of my feet (my feet)
I can feel your presence all over me
Change
Yeah, yeah (repeat)
The lyrics to "We Worship You" by William Murphy III, as sung by Deitrick Haddon Presents Voices of Unity, speak to the freedom and privilege that believers have to come boldly before the throne of God's grace in worship. The first stanza captures the experience of feeling the glory of God's presence all around as we engage in worship. This experience is embodied in the physical sensation of feeling His presence from "the crown of my head to the soles of my feet," a poetic way of expressing the fullness of the experience. The repetition of the phrase "we worship you, in spirit and in truth" emphasizes the centrality of authenticity and sincerity in our worship, and also serves as a declaration of our entire beings coming together to honor God. The second stanza furthers this declaration of praise, as the singer declares their humble bowing before God and exaltation of His holy name. The final repetition of "yeah, yeah" serves to boost the energy of the song and elevate the experience of worship.
One interesting fact about this song is that it was first released as part of William Murphy III's album "The Sound" in 2007, and has since become a beloved worship anthem across many denominations and cultures. Additionally, the Voices of Unity choir is a highly acclaimed gospel ensemble that has performed across the country and in many prestigious venues, including the Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. Another interesting element of the song is its blend of contemporary gospel and traditional worship themes, which enables it to appeal to a wide range of worshippers. Other notable features of the song include its catchy chorus, powerful vocals, and energetic musical accompaniment.
