Chris Tomlin's song 'A King Like This' reflects on the birth and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It contrasts the majesty of Christ with His humble birth in a manger and His suffering on the cross. The lyrics emphasize Jesus as the promised Savior and King, whose love led Him to die for forgiveness. The repeated declaration 'The Light has come' points to Christ as the light of the world. The song calls listeners to bow before no other name or King, affirming Jesus as Lord and Savior. It connects the nativity to the crucifixion, celebrating God's redemptive plan through His Son.

A King like this, majesty
Laying in a manger
A King like this
Unto us is born a Savior
The Light, the Light has come
A King like this, the highest
Name and the song of heaven
A King like this born of
Flesh into our suffering
The Light, the Light has come
He is Christ, the Lord
He is Christ, our Savior
I bow my heart before no other name
I bow my heart before no other King
A King like this, a saving
Love that would not forsake us
Betrayed by a kiss and led
To the cross for our forgiveness
The Light, the Light has come
He is Christ, the Lord
He is Christ, our Savior
I bow my heart before no other name
I bow my heart before no other King
We lift up our eyes, the
Light has come!
We lift up our eyes, the
Light has come!
We lift up our eyes, the
Light has come!
We lift up our eyes,
lift up our eyes,
Lift up Your Eyes!
He is Christ, the Lord
He is Christ, our Savior
I bow my heart before no other name
I bow my heart before no other King
A King like this, a throne of grace
That will stand forever
The angels sing glory, glory, hallelujah
The Light, the Light has come
The Light, the Light has come
