Sovereign Grace Music's song reflects on the incarnation of Christ, celebrating the mystery of God becoming man. The lyrics describe how heaven came down to earth in the form of a helpless child, bringing hope, light, and grace to a dark world. It emphasizes Jesus' humble birth, His life, death, and resurrection, highlighting His role as the Lamb who was slain for sinners. The song marvels at the love that led the eternal God to set aside His throne and dwell among humanity, ultimately seeking and saving the lost.
Verse 1
Unto us from on high
Reaching down into the deepest night
To the world hope has come
In the dark the Light of Life has dawned
Chorus
What a mystery, oh what love
Oh how can it be that heaven has come to us
Verse 2
Unto us meek and mild
God eternal born a helpless child
Set aside heaven?s throne
Veiled in weakness came unto His own
Verse 3
Unto us grace has come
Here to seek and bring the sinner home
Lived to die, rose to reign
Son of Man the Lamb for sinners slain
