two favors represent our main passions in life. You have a choice, but only pick one! It's either a Compact Disc or a decorative
Heart-Shaped Twig. I really love flowers, and arranging them is one of my most enjoyable and relaxing moments. Mike is a
Musician by heart, he even has his own mini-recording studio. In fact a CD was one of the many gifts that he gave to me while we
were still in the courting stage. This CD is really a fruit of our love, we even travelled back and forth from west to east coast to create it.. the whole
design and music selections were made with love and inspiration from God. We entitled our Wedding CD as "God's Gift Of Music
On Our Wedding Day". As you may notice, the main theme of our web site is "God in the Center of our relationship". You will find
from the this collection of Music how awesome our God is. We would like to offer all of these to the Lord, and may this bring
you a true inspiration of His promises to all of us. You are precious : )

This is the compilation of our favorite songs through the years..
One Hand One Heart (Tevin Campbell) - This is a remake of a song from the motion picture classic "West Side Story". We say,
"Lord, make our hands one hand, and our hearts one heart".
You Are Everything (David Sanborn) - This has been our theme song from the day we first met and will always be. Through our sheer
God given inspiration for each other, we put God first and had written our own lyrics to fit the instrumental version of this song. Witness
our whole-heartedly sung duet recording of this very special song during our first dance.
Both In Love (Ariel Rivera) - This song reflects our passion for each other and that we are very much "both in Love".
Of All The Things (Martin Nievera) - I dedicate this song with all my heart to my one and only Angel Mike. This song has been one of
my favorites ten years ago even though I had not yet found someone to dedicate this to. And now, I can say, "Of all the things I've ever
done, finding Mike proved to be the most important one".
In His Time (Bless His Name) - Believing that God has brought us together, this very special song reflects how awesome our God is.
This is the only other instrumental song on this CD for which we really wanted a vocal version. This Christian song reminds us that the
Lord "makes all things beautiful In His Time."
Ribbon In The Sky (Stevie Wonder) - We particularly relate to this song that our love has been tied together by God's gold Ribbon In
The Sky through His Perfect Love. Even Stevie Wonder looks to the Lord "with God on our side, we'll find strength in each tear we cry"
Love's Grown Deep (Danny Couch) - We had the opportunity to see Danny Couch on 4th of July 2000 at a Luau in Hawaii. Danny
is a relatively unknown artist in the mainland, but not for Mercy. Mercy got a copy of one of his CD's 3 years ago signed by Danny. With
our love to each other, we both know that our love will constantly grow with God's guidance.
Ikaw (You) - (Sharon Cuneta) - This very nice Tagalog song is one of the most popular songs in Filipino Weddings. Finding the right
one is not by searching with our own efforts, but it is based on what we pray for and what is being given unto us by God.
We Could Be In Love (Leah Salonga & Brad Kane) - Mercy introduced me to this song and I was totally struck by the words in the
middle of the song "�all my life I have dreamed of this, but I could not see your face..". These words matched the description of a dream
that I had long ago as a child about meeting someone exactly like Mercy. I just didn' t know when I would meet her. Of course, it all
happened in God's Time!
On The Wings Of Love (Regine Velasquez) - Love will take us to many places -- like to forever!
When I Met you (Ariel Rivera) - The lyrics in this song are reflective of our first date and how I felt about Mercy. "She gave me the
reason for my being, and I love what I'm feeling she gave me a meaning to my life Yes, I've gone beyond existing And it all began when
I met Mercy".
It Might Be You (Martin Nievera) - Based on the original pop version of this song, Martin does a very beautiful & romantic acoustic
rendition. Note the guitar arrangement, very subtle, gentle, natural and beautiful. For those who didn't know, Mercy also plays guitar (beginner)
From This Moment On (Shania Twain & Bryan White) - We vow our love to each other. And just like what the song says
" �you're the answer to my prayers from up above". God really answers our prayers!
So In Love With You (U.N.V.) - This beautiful song expresses our deepest love and promises to each other.
Asian Girl (Simple-KAI) - We first heard this song in a CD Demo Video Wedding sampler while we were searching for a videographer for
our wedding. We wanted to have this song so much.. we searched endlessly to find the CD in Music stores but it was nowhere to be found.
Alas! The internet once again was of positive use for it provided this song to be a part of our Special Wedding Song collection.
You're My Everything (Martin Nievera) - It's very nice when our loved ones share the same taste in music.
Great Jubilee (Jaime Rivera) - The year 2000 represents the Great Jubilee for Christians around the world. We both believe that the better
way of ending this CD is to give our tribute to GOD for providing us all His blessed Gifts in this beautiful world of ours. We should be thankful
& rejoice, for this is the time of the Great Jubilee!
Our Wedding Message To You (Mike & Mercy Berbano) - Our hearts are filled with love and joy to share� Watch out for this special
surprise! I'd like to recognize God's given gift to me - Mike, he shares with me his gift of music. In fact, the background song is Mike's own
arrangement of "our song", and was recorded in his own recording studio as well.
To the best musician, drummer, my Honey, I applaud and rejoice for these wonderful gifts!
Make of our hands, one hand,
Make of our hearts, one heart.
Make of our vows, one last vow;
Only death will part us now.
Make of our lives, one life.
Day after day, one life.
Now it begins, Now we start;
One Hand, One Heart.
Even death won't part us now.
I prayed to GOD to give me Someone just like you,
Exactly like you, Who loves the Lord too.
When we sing together, We make our hearts sing,
Our spirits ring, Together we sing, oh we sing
You are everything And everything is you, whoa
You are everything And everything is you, darling
You are everything And everything is you
How can I go on, With you not by my side,
You're not even close nearby, I started to cry.
And when we are together I feel you next to me,
And I do cherish thee Forever will be, faithfully�
Mahal na mahal kita Lagi kang mamahalin
Pag-ibig ko sa yo ay hindi magmamaliw
Ikaw and buhay ko ngayon at kailan pa man
Asahan mo ito, ito ay habang buhay
You may not show it I may not know it
But it's real as it can be You need no season
I need no reason When it's your heart singin'
This was meant to be
When you're both in love Both in love...
Seein' eye to eye and feelin' Heart to heart
Yes, we're both in love Both in love
With each other from the start
Ev'rythin's magic When we're together
In this wonderland for two There's nothing like it
Won't try to hide it
Anyone can tell there's nothin' you can do
There's no need to worry Which stars we're under
We've got all we need to know We have the answer
Forever after You're the one for me
And I'm the one for you
Of all the things I've ever done
Finding you will prove to be
The most important one
I would never trade the tears
The conversation no-one hears
The learning how to walk before we run
Of all the kites I ever flew
Most came tumbling down
Except the one I sent up with you
I don't wanna change a thing
Break the spell Cut the string
When every wish I made is coming true w/ you Sometimes I forget To say how much I love you
Purposely I bet 'Cause I'm so busy thinking of you
So, in this world of odds and ends
I'd rather have a part of you
Than all of my so-called friends
You have taught me how to feel
What is false and what is real
Of all the things I ever wanna do
I think I'll start and end with loving you
In His time In His time
He makes all things beautiful In His time
Lord, please show me every day
As You're teachin' me Your ways
That You do just what you say In Your time
In Your time In Your time
You make all things beautiful In Your time
Lord my life to You I bring May each song I have to sing
Be to You a lovely thing In Your time
Oh so long for this night I prayed
That a star would guide you my way
To share with me this special day
Where a ribbon�s in the sky for our love
If allowed may I touch your hand
And if pleased may I once again
So that you too will understand
There�s a ribbon in the sky for our love
This is not a coincidence
And far more than a lucky chance
But what is that was always meant
Is our ribbon in the sky for our love, love
We can�t lose with God on our side
We�ll find strength in each tear we cry
From now on it will be you and I
And our ribbon in the sky Ribbon in the sky
A ribbon in the sky for our love
There�s a ribbon in the sky for our love
Be still my heart, lately its mind is on it's own
It would go far, and wide, just to be near you
Even the stars, shine a bit bright I've noticed
When you're close to me Still it remains a mystery
Anyone who seen us, knows what's going on between us
It doesn't take a genius, to read between the lines
And it's not just wishful thinking, or only me who's dreaming
I know what these are symptoms of, we could be in love
I ask myself why, I sleep like a baby through the night
Maybe it helps to know, you'll be there tomorrow
Don't open my eyes, I'll wake from the spell I'm under
Make me wonder how Tell me how, I could live without
you now And what about the laughter, the happy ever after
Like voices of sweet angels, calling out our names And it's
not just wishful thinking, or only me who's dreaming I know
what these are symptoms of, we could be in love All my life, I have dreamed of this, but I could not see your face Don't
ask why, two such distant stars, could fall right in to place
Ikaw ang bigay ng Maykapal
Tugon sa aking dasal
Upang sa lahat ng panahon
Bawat pagkakataon Ang ibigin ko'y ikaw
Ikaw ang tanglaw sa 'king mundo
Kabiyak nitong puso ko
Wala ni kahati mang saglit
Na sa iyo'y may papalit
Ngayo't kailanma'y ikaw
Ang lahat ng aking galaw Ang sanhi ay ikaw
Kung may bukas mang tinatanaw
Dahil may isang ikaw
Kulang ang magpakailan man
Upang bawat sandali ay...
Upang muli't muli ay... Ang mahalin ay ikaw
Just smile for me and let the day begin
You are the sunshine that lights my heart within
And I'm sure that you're an angel in disguise
Come take my hand and together we will ride
On the wings of love Up and above the clouds
The only way to fly Is on the wings of love
On the wings of love Only the two of us
Together flying high
Flying high upon the wings of love
You look at me and I begin to melt
Just like the snow when a ray of sun is felt
And I'm crazy 'bout you baby can't you see
I'd be so delighted if you would come with me
Yes you belong to me And I'm yours exclusively
Right now we live and breathe each other
Insep'rable it seems We're flowing like a stream running free Trav'lling on the wings of love
Time.I've been passing time watching trains go by,
All of my life.Lying on the sand, watching seabirds fly
Wishing there would be Someone waiting home for me
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you... All of my life...
Looking back as lovers go walking past... All of my life...
Wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place Would I recognize the face?
So many quiet walks to take So many dreams to wake
And we've so much love to make
I think we're gonna need some time
maybe all we need is time...
And it's telling me it might be you All of my life...
I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before...
Maybe it's you...Maybe it's you...
I've been waiting for all of my life
There I was an empty piece of a shell
Just mindin' my own world Without even knowin'
What love and life were all about
Then you came You brought me out of the shell
You gave the world to me And before I knew
There I was so in love with you
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you
I love the touch of your hair
And when I look in your eyes
I just know, I know I'm on to something good
And I'm sure my love for you will endure
Your love will light up my world
And take all my cares away
With the aching part of me
You taught me how to love
You showed me how tomorrow and today
My life is diff'rent from the yesterday
And you, you taught me how to love
And darling I will always cherish you
Today, tomorrow and forever...
And I'm sure when evening comes around
I know we'll be making love like never before
My love, who could ask for more?
You are to me
What poetry tries to say with the word
You are the song
All the music my heart ever heard
I can't escape
The air that I breathe even speaks of you
And I'm not ashamed to say That I feel this way
I will stand before God Give you all the I've got
I can promise you I'll be true I will feel here and now As we both take this vow I am so in love w/ you
Words can't express I confess with each beat of my heart I'm overwhelmed with a passion
I felt from the start Our love will grow
As the years come and go I'll remain by your side, Oh yes, I will There isn't anything that I will demand
Narration
I promise to honor and cherish
For better or for worst I'll be there for you
For richer or for poorer In sickness and in health
Till death do us part (I will go with you)
From this day and forever (I Will)
From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong From this moment on
From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you
Can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on
You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment- I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on
Being with you makes me believe,
the sun will always shine
And I'm glad that I'm with you girl
and that you're always mine
I close my eyes, and I know my trust is on your side
'Cause being with you, makes me believe,
your one of a kind
Beauty like yours is hard to find,
girl its so impossible
It's your eyes and your smile that is so incredible
I believe you are so precious to deserve
You are the one so beautiful, my Asian girl
You're always in my dreams at night,
all the, time, yes you are
'Cause being with you I see and believe
Your minds open to the world,
it's your personality that's real,
I'm glad you're my girl
I open my eyes, I'm happy to say
you're here right by my side
'Cause being with you, I know and believe,
I'm in paradise
You make the stars smile at the world,
'cause you're always happy
And you are worth more, than diamonds and pearls
And you're sweet as candy
It's a time of joy, a time of peace
A time when hearts are then set free
A time to heal the wounds of division
It's a time of grace, a time of hope
A time of sharing the gifts we have
A time to build the world that is one
It's the time to give thanks to the Father, Son & Spirit
And with Mary, our Mother, we sing this song
Open your hearts to the Lord and begin to see the mystery
That we are all together as one family
No more walls, no more chains, no more selfishness and closed doors
For we are in the fullness of God's time
It's the time of the Great Jubilee
It's a time of prayer, a time of praise
A time to lift our hands to God
A time to recall all our graces
It's a time to touch, time to reach
Those hearts that often wonder
A time to bring them back to God's embrace
It's the time of the Great Jubilee
It's the time of the Great Jubilee...
You're my everything
The sun that shines above you makes the blue birds sing
The stars that twinkle up in the sky Tell me I'm in love
When I kiss your lips
I feel the rolling thunder to my fingertips
And all the while my head is in a spin
Deep within I'm in love
You're my everything
And nothing really matters but the love you bring
You're my everything
To see you in the mornin' with those big brown eyes
You're my everything
Forever and a day I need you close to me
You're my everything
You never have to worry, never fear for I am near
You're my everything
I live up on the land that see the sky above
I'll swim within her ocean sweet and warm
There's no storm my love
When I hold you tight there's nothing
That can harm you in the lonely night
I'll come to you and keep you safe and warm
Yet so strong my love
