I listened to Ezra talk about this song on BBCR1 and he said, "Overall, the lyrics of 'Worship You' are about kind of believing in something, whether it's a religious belief or a political belief, putting all your faith and then coming to this other point where you start to question it. [...] The idea that there's something that you worship, that you totally leaned on, and then you kind of had to think twice, it left you, it went away, and then you were kind of back on your own for a second."
As others have said, I think that the song is partly about God, but I think it has an ambiguity that allows you to also interpret it as about political figures (perhaps Barack Obama) who betray what you expected of them.
