Yet, the song lacks revelation concerning the incarnation of God.

We are not discussing the incarnation of God on this thread (but I'd love to discuss this with anyone, it's one of the most fascinating and mysterious subjects!)

If God does not need man then why was He incarnated as a man?

The incarnation has little to nothing to do with what God needs but rather what WE need - Salvation, redemption, justification, sanctification and eventually glorification. You really should get out there and read something from somebody other than Nee or Lee. Believe me, there is a whole giant world of fabulous writings, all the way from the early Church fathers all the way up to some very recent works.

A man was needed to carry out His plan and now men are needed to continue to carry out His will on earth as it is in heaven. A will is more than just a desire. God has a desire and He makes a plan to carry it out which involves man.

Mmmmmm...I like the way you have worded this. I think it comes closer to the truth of the matter.
