See God's city for, unfortunately, the lowest of the low (5,2,7)

'low' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'see god's city for unfortunately the lowest of' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'see' could be 'c' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers) and 'c' is present in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
'god' could be 're' (Re is an example) and 're' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
