Building 429's song 'Birthday of a King/Extravagant' is a Christmas worship piece that celebrates the birth of Jesus. The lyrics describe the humble setting in Bethlehem, the holy light, and the angels singing 'Alleluia' on that first Christmas. The song then shifts to reflect on the extravagant and incomprehensible nature of God's love, which led Him to send His Son. It emphasizes the wonder of the incarnation and the depth of God's love for humanity, making it a fitting song for the Christmas season.

In the little village of Bethlehem
There lay a child one day
And the sky was bright with a holy light
O'er the place where Jesus lay
Alleluia, Alleluia
How the angels sang
Alleluia, Alleluia
How it rang
And the sky was bright
With a holy light
'Twas the birthday of a King
King
A humble birthplace
But O, how much
God gave to us that day
From the manger bed
What a path has led
What a perfect holy way
Alleluia, Alleluia
How the angels sang
Alleluia, Alleluia
How it rang
And the sky was bright
With a holy light
'Twas the birthday of a King
King
It's extravagant, it doesn't make sense
We never comprehend the way you love us
It's unthinkable, only heaven knows
Just how far You'd go
To say You love us, to say You love us, to say You love us
Alleluia, Alleluia
How the angels sang
Alleluia, Alleluia
How it rang
And the sky was bright
With a holy light
'Twas the birthday of a King
