Mt. Zion
Cageless Birds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The city of the Living God
The Heavenly Jerusalem
By His blood we have come
We have come to Mount Zion
The city of the Living God
The Heavenly Jerusalem
By His blood we have come
Thousands of angels dance around His throne
And thousands more sing out new songs!
Elders throw their crowns down
As all of Heaven sings out
Worthy is the One, the Lamb who has overcome
Resurrection Love has raised us up again
Worthy is the One, the Lamb who has overcome
He has conquered death, and I will follow Him!
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
"Mt. Zion" by Cageless Birds is a song that celebrates the ultimate victory of the Lamb who has overcome death. The song begins by declaring that those who are listening have come to Mount Zion, the city of the Living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, by the blood of the Lamb. Mount Zion is a reference to the highest peak in Jerusalem, and is often used in the Bible as a symbol of heaven itself. The song highlights the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ, whose death on the cross made it possible for believers to have access to God's Heavenly throne room.
The second half of the song describes the worship in heaven, as thousands of angels dance and sing new songs around the throne of God. The elders, who are mentioned several times in the book of Revelation in the Bible, throw their crowns at the feet of Jesus as a sign of complete submission and worship. The chorus declares the worthiness of the Lamb who has conquered death, and the singer's desire to follow Him.
Overall, the song is a celebration of the love of Jesus Christ, and the hope that believers have in His ultimate victory over death. The lyrics are filled with powerful imagery that draws from the Bible, and the energetic and joyful melody reinforces the sense of triumph that the song conveys.

I really don't know what happen in these 6 months, but i know about one thing: that God is good, all the times, and throught all the seasons of the soul.
And i want to pray upon you that all His promises will shine again, no matters what it may mean to you.
God bless!

I'm probably responsible for close to 200 views. I have a fussy 6 month old and this song is one of the only things that calms him down every. single. time. It brings me to tears how captivated he is and I can see that he knows our God already :) Such a beautiful song, I don't mind having to listen to it over and over again ;)

Rich Mullins song Sometimes by Step was my 15 yr olds "comfort song" when she was little.....We didn't have Youtube then and I sang that song till my voice was hoarse and wore out a cd playing it over and over. God is so very faithful. Angela now has such a precious heart for our Abba. I imagine your little one will too. <3

Kim Watts thank you :) I just saw this because I wanted to see if my (now 16 month old) son still recognized this song after some time. He was just as calm as ever. Which says a lot considering how wild he is!!
