🎄⚔️ “THE SIEGE OF LIGHT” A jingly, Scripture-soaked reminder that Christmas is not retreating — it’s advancing. Every December 27th the same thing happens: The world yawns, packs up the manger, drags a dry tree to the curb, and acts like Christmas was a 24-hour flash sale. But the Church? 🚫 Not done. 🚫 Not tired. 🚫 Not even halfway through. Today is Day Three of Christmas, the Feast of St. John the Beloved — the apostle who didn’t just describe the Incarnation, but declared it a cosmic invasion of Light: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” — John 1:5 That’s not cozy sentimentality. That’s military language. The Gospel — Evangelium (eh-vahn-JEL-ee-um) — is literally a royal battle proclamation: “Good news: the King has won. Submit joyfully.” So this track leans in: 🎖️ Twelve Days of Christmas as a siege 🌟 Christ the true Light breaching the walls 🔥 John the Beloved shouting air support from the parapets 🎄 Culture tapping out on January 1 🐪 Magi (MAY-jai) not even close to arriving yet ✨ And the Church still singing like an army at reveille This is Christmas as it really is: A kingdom taking ground — quietly, joyfully, irresistibly. 🎶 “The Siege of Light” — Out Now A triumphant, slightly snarky carol for Catholics who refuse to surrender Christmas early. 🔗 FOLLOW PETER’S BARQUE YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@peters-barque Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-7821522 Instagram / TikTok / X / FB: @petersbarque 🎧 Listen on: Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/peters-barque/1857703433 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/07uvm7SPGUVwYdxELtbXv8 ☕ Support the mission (100% reinvested): https://ko-fi.com/petersbarque #Catholic #CatholicMusic #PetersBarque #TwelveDaysOfChristmas #StJohnTheBeloved #Incarnation #LightShinesInTheDarkness #SiegeOfLight #CatholicTikTok #CatholicReels #ChristmasSeason #JohannineTheology #Evangelium #MagiOnTheMoveSubscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

🎄✨ “Wait — It’s Still Christmas” A jingly, good-humored reminder that December 26th is not “the end.” It’s literally Day Two. Every year, like clockwork, the same post-Christmas panic erupts: Lights off. Ornaments boxed. Carols replaced with gym ads. Trees on life support (or already in the garage). But here’s the thing nobody rushing into “back-to-normal” seems to realize: 👉 Christmas is twelve days long. 👉 We are barely getting started. 👉 Epiphany is still miles down the road. The Church doesn’t slam the door shut on the 25th— she opens it. Day after day after day of feasting, rejoicing, lingering in the glow of the Incarnation. That’s what this track celebrates: a playful musical eye-roll at the world’s premature shutdown of joy. 🎶 “Wait — It’s Still Christmas” A sleigh-bell-soaked reminder to keep the lights on, keep the tree up, and keep celebrating like Christians who know the season isn’t over just because Walgreens says so. 🔗 LISTEN & FOLLOW PETER’S BARQUE Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/peters-barque/1857703433 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/07uvm7SPGUVwYdxELtbXv8 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@peters-barque Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-7821522 Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook: @petersbarque Support the mission (100% reinvested): https://ko-fi.com/petersbarque 🎄 Keep celebrating.

🎄✨ “Prophecies in the Straw” — A Christmas Morning Proclamation in Song A joyful, Scripture-soaked reminder that the Child in the manger is the fulfillment of every ancient hope. From the moment the star rose over Bethlehem, the quiet straw of a feed-trough became the meeting place of centuries of prophecy and the God who keeps His promises. Micah said the Ruler would come from Bethlehem (Mic 5:2). Isaiah foretold a Virgin who would bear God-With-Us (Isa 7:14) and a Child called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace (Isa 9:6). Daniel counted the very timeline (Dan 9:24–26). Isaiah promised a Messiah who would open blind eyes and heal the broken (Isa 35:4–5). David sang of One whose hands and feet would be pierced (Ps 22) and whose body would not see corruption (Ps 16). Zechariah foretold a King who would come humble, and later be looked upon by those who pierced Him (Zech 9:9; 12:10). Psalm 110 declared the exalted Lord at God’s right hand. And on Christmas morning, every one of these ancient threads converges in a newborn Child wrapped in swaddling cloth and laid in a manger. That’s what this song celebrates. 🎶 “Prophecies in the Straw” A Christmas hymn for cradle Catholics, converts, Bible nerds, lovers of Scripture, and anyone who wants to rejoice that God keeps His promises in the fullness of time. 🔗 LISTEN & FOLLOW PETER’S BARQUE Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/peters-barque/1857703433 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/07uvm7SPGUVwYdxELtbXv8 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@peters-barque Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-7821522 Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook: @petersbarque Support the project (100% reinvested): https://ko-fi.com/petersbarque 🎄 Merry Christmas!

📜🔥 NEW SONG DROP “We Stand For The Gospel” — Peter’s Barque For some reason, it’s still fashionable to say: “The Catholic Church discourages people from reading the Bible.” Which is impressive… because it’s wrong at literally every level. St. Jerome — the man who translated the Bible for the Western Church — said: “Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.” At every single Mass, Catholics hear Scripture proclaimed aloud — and when the Gospel is read, we stand, because Christ Himself is speaking. The Church didn’t hide the Bible. She canonized it, translated it, preserved it, proclaimed it, and even offers an indulgence for reading it prayerfully. Oh — and if you think Catholics don’t read Scripture, someone should probably tell Fr. Mike Schmitz, who walked millions of people through the entire Bible in a year… on purpose… out loud… online. This song exists because bad history keeps getting repeated loudly. And sometimes the response needs a beat, a hook, and a little snark. 🎶 “We Stand For The Gospel” — a track for Catholics, converts, Scripture nerds, and anyone tired of hearing the same tired myth. 🔖 Hashtags #Catholic #CatholicMusic #PetersBarque #Bible #Gospel #CatholicTruth #ChurchHistory #ReadTheBible #WeStandForTheGospel 🔗 Follow Peter’s Barque X / IG / TikTok / Facebook: @petersbarque YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@peters-barque Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-7821522 🎧 Listen on Apple Music & Spotify (all major platforms) ☕ Support the project https://ko-fi.com/petersbarqueSubscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise
