Christmas In Our Hearts lyrics

Jose Mari Chan

Whenever I see girls and boys
Selling lanterns on the street
I remember the child in the manger as he sleeps
Wherever there are people
Giving gifts exchanging cards
I believe that Christmas is truly in our hearts
Let's light our Christmas trees for a bright tomorrow
Where nations are at peace,
And all are one in God

[Chorus:]
Let's sing Merry Christmas and a happy holiday
This season may we never forget the love we have for Jesus
Let him be the one to guide us as another new year starts
And may the spirit of Christmas be always in our hearts

In every prayer and every song
The community unite celebrating the birth of our savior Jesus Christ
Let love like that starlight on that first Christmas morn
Lead us back to the manger where Christ the child was born
So come let us rejoice
Come and sing the Christmas carol with one big joyful voice
Proclaim the name of the Lord

[Chorus:]
Let's sing Merry Christmas and a happy holiday
This season may we never forget the love we have for Jesus
Let him be the one to guide us as another new year starts
And may the spirit of Christmas be always in our hearts

[Chorus:]
Let's sing Merry Christmas and a happy holiday
The season may we never forget the love we have for Jesus
Let him be the one to guide us as another new year starts
And may the spirit of Christmas be always in our hearts

With heartfelt gratitude from the bereaved family of
Francisco G. Ramos

July 24, 1928 - February 2, 2008

For the time you joined us celebrate the beauty of life with our father Paquito and grandpa Apo Kiko;
For the wisdom to help us disclose to him what he was going through with spiritual and physical empowerment;
For the patience to cheer him up in the midst of his physical turmoil and unimaginable discomfort;
For the prayers that all his pain be transformed and transcended into an offering of love, life and union with our Lord Jesus Christ;
For staying foot beside him until his last step on this earthly life as he leaps towards life eternal with his Creator, the angels and the saints;
For witnessing his reunion with our beloved mother “Mercedes M. Ramos” and all those close to his heart who have gone before him, testifying faith in Jesus who is the truth, the life and the resurrection;
For your personal offerings in whatever form they may be, to relieve us from the deepest sorrow we bear as we “let go” of our dearly beloved father;

For all the condolences and love that embraced us during this wintry hour of bereavement, to escort us in facing the spring of a new life and feel God’s amazing grace;
and For everything you have done, your intentions and actions, - thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
