Deck The Malls =D

few years ago (or maybe like a decade ago) teacher June passed a cassete to me and Esther (well she passed a lot, but this was my favourite) she had recorded this tape and it was entitled DECK THE MALLS (and it's NOT deck the halls!) it was Christmas songs, new ones which i had never heard before, with kids, teenagers and young adults people talking in btwn about their real-life experiences with Christmas

first song was Deck the Malls, second entitled "I'll make my heart a Bethelehem", another one had this as the last line of a chorus "through the eyes of a child" .. and the last was a medley of carols done in a contemporary fashion (o come let us adore, hark the herald, part of Handel's Messiah (the "what child is this part" Gloria in excelsis deo, Joy to the world and etc)

anyhow i was listening to Emmanuel by Michael W Smith from WOW Worship - Chrismas "red" album , when i realised that i had heard it before ... on this very same cassete tape "deck the malls"!! and so i tried searching for the album on the internet, but there seems to be no such album existing??
i asked teacher June again and she said she had copied it from her friend's tape/CD.. so the album does exist


so yes reason i'm blogggin about it is i really really LOVE that album.
it had beautiful songs and amazing arrangements. i've heard many other Christmas albums since then but none have matched up to the beauty of Deck the Malls *hearts*
i don't ask for much- God knows no one outside family really gives me presents anymore, but this is ONE thing i really want :)
so please my dear reader, if you know of such an album or anyone who might have a clue to it... PLEASE pass it on to me.

Deck the mall with decorations,
boughs of holly in celebration
long awaited school vacations,
deck the malls tonight

look at all the shops and friends,
Christmas trees and coloured lights,
come on everybody one and all
let's deck the Mall tonight

hear the sound of children singing
see their faces, watch their eyes,
fires (or light?) are burning, bells are ringing
reindeer flying through the sky
