Rend Collective's song reflects on the incarnation, humility, and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, from His birth in a manger to His death on the cross and resurrection. The lyrics emphasize the paradox of the King of glory becoming nothing, serving others, and forgiving even in death. The song calls the church to adore Him and sing of His grace, celebrating the redemption and abundant life found in Him. It draws on themes of God's love, salvation, and the victory of the empty grave, encouraging believers to fix their hearts on the mount of God's redeeming love.

Come now see the Lord of Heaven in a lowly manger laid
King deserving of a throne room, born a poor, powerless babe
Oh the mystry oh the wonder
Somehow God is one of us
Such is greatness in His kingdom
He descended to our dust
Christ the Word, holy expression of the humbleness of God
Herald of a prideless kingdom, one of sacrificial love
Mighty One who made the heavens
Knelt to wash his brother's feet
And the earth that He created
He bestowed unto the meek
King of glory became nothing
Humbled to the point of death
Stretched His arms out like a beggar
And forgave with His last breath
What God started with a manger ended with an empty grave
Suffering servant now exalted, Jesus name above all names
Light eternal in the darkness
He shall not be overcome
Shining over all our shadows
Every curse has been undone
Heaven breaks forth like the springtime
Through the winter of our souls
Now His life is life abundant is forever ours to know
Come now church let us adore him
Tune your heart to sing His grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it Mount of God's redeeming love
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it Mount of God's redeeming love
