Phil Wickham and CeCe Winans have teamed up for a new Christmas worship song called ‘Peace On Earth.’
The song came out on Friday, November 6, 2026, and I have already listened to it a few times. It is one of those songs that makes you stop what you are doing and just listen.
Two Well-Loved Voices
Phil Wickham is the San Diego worship leader behind songs many churches sing every Sunday, like ‘Living Hope,’ ‘Hymn of Heaven,’ and ‘This Is Amazing Grace.’ His Christmas song ‘Manger Throne’ won a Dove Award in 2024.
CeCe is a true gospel music legend from Detroit with 18 Grammy Awards to her name and a voice that has blessed generations. When these two voices come together for a Christmas song, you know it is going to be something special.
Their voices work so well side by side. Phil sings with that gentle worship sound we know, and CeCe brings so much warmth and strength to every line.
What the Song Says
The song starts by talking about the pain and division in our world. It does not pretend life is easy. But it tells us there is still a message of hope and healing for anyone who feels far from God. It also mentions the star that led the wise men to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born.
Halfway through, the key changes and the song gets bigger. That part really got me. The words encourage us to keep going through hard times and to give our lives to Jesus. Then it says it clearly. Jesus is the Savior, and He is our peace on earth.
At the end, the song moves into the chorus of the old carol ‘O Come, All Ye Faithful.’ I loved that. After hearing about everything Jesus brings us, it ends with simply worshipping Him.
Before the release, Phil shared on Instagram that Christmas is one of his favorite times of the year. He said he was excited to share this song with CeCe and that it reminds us the Light of the World is here.
A Good Reminder for Christmas
December gets busy for all of us. We get caught up in shopping, plans and parties. This song is a good reminder of why we celebrate. Real peace does not come from a perfect holiday. It comes from Jesus, who was born to save us.
“Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” Luke 2:14 (NKJV)
