In the opening lines, "I worship You Lord, I give You my praise, I sing a new song," Maurette expresses her devotion to God and declares her intention to offer God her worship and praise.

The Psalmist beautifully captures this idea in Psalm 40: 1-3, "I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him."

Overall, "We Worship You" is a song of adoration, gratitude, and devotion to God. It celebrates God's greatness, faithfulness, and loving-kindness, and the desire to offer Him wholehearted praise and worship.
