The Wedding Song (There is Love)

Words & Music:

Noel Paul Stookey

 

      G                          D/A

He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts.

C(add D)                        G

Rest assured this troubadour is acting on His part.

                  D/A              C(add D)        G

The union of your spirits here has caused Him to remain.

        Em          G               D/A

For whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name,

         C(add D)        G

There is love.  There is love.

 

Well, a man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home.

They shall travel on to where the two shall be as one.

As it was in the beginning is now and 'til the end.

Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again.

And there is love.  There is love.

 

           C         C/B    Am         D                G

Well, then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife?

      C         C/B        Am       D                    G

Is it love that brings you here, or love that brings you life?

 

For in loving is the answer, then who's the giving for?

Do you believe in something that you've never seen before?

Oh, there's love.  There is love

 

Oh, the marriage of your spirits here has caused Him to remain.

For whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name

There is love.  There is love.
