PEACE WILL COME - MY DEACON BLUE CHRISTMAS MIX 2025
11/12/2024
Songs for a spiritually healthy Christmas?
Ricky Ross has a bit of a thing for winter songs, full of snow. He could also be the Christian Christmas Song Laureate. Time and time again that baby appears in his songs.
Here's my 2024 Mix of Deacon Blue Christmas songs, adding the beautiful and poignant prayer for our time, Peace Will Come and from this year's acoustic record All Over The World. I cannot help but hear the angels singing those two songs for shepherds.
CIRCUS LIGHTS (acoustic)
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
Over these circus Christmas lights
CHRISTMAS AND GLASGOW
“They could hear choirs, those heavenly choirs
Choirs of angels, those heavenly choirs...”
YOU’LL KNOW IT’S CHRISTMAS
“If there’s a star in the sky
If the air is filled the mystery
If there’s a babe in the Church with a choir”
BETHLEHEM BEGINS
And nothing's clear I guess a miracle's the only thing
That's ever going to work here
We stayed awake one starry night
Just to watch the sky turn and change and aim...
...
You got to go back, gotta go back, gotta go back in time
To Bethlehem
To begin again
STARSTRUCK
“Mother’s still feeling sore
Daddy’s looking sheepish
A little unsure”
CALVARY (Ricky Ross)
“A Baby comes, folks don't sleep
Those shepherds keep you up later than you meant to be
One child's grows and people notice
he's breaking chains
and making poor folks' lives so heavenly
(the way it's meant to be)”
HOLY NIGHT (Ricky Ross)
“Holy, holy night
Three tired travellers
Move till morning
One drives, two hold fast
To gifts and bags
And memories
Of holy, holy nights”
BETHLEHEM’S GATE (piano version)
“The world groans and strains
For the hope of a time
Like a prayer that
Is wished and willed
To exist”
PEACE WILL COME (acoustic)
Peace will come
Just in time to save
Everyone
If they're old or
If they're young
All we know is that
Peace will come
All we know is that
Peace will come
THE BELIEVERS
The Believers
Know that it's going to get better
You better
Believe it
Cause no one here will ever forget you
Not let you
We're believers
Believers
ALL OVER THE WORLD (Acoustic)
All over this landPeople are waitingTo enter the worldLike a new born babyAll over the worldWhere nothing's been learnedThe flags are changingSo let freedom unfurlNew flags need wavingLet freedom unfurl
CHRISTMAS (BABY PLEASE COME HOME)
“(Christmas)
The church bells in town
(Christmas)
All ringing in song
(Christmas)
Full of happy sounds
(Christmas)
Baby please come home”
