Key of C
He is (C) now to be among you
at the (G) calling of your hearts
Rest (F) assured this troubadour
is (C) acting on His part.
The (C) union of your spirits, here,
has (Fmaj) caused Him to (C) remain
For (Am) whenever two or (C) more of you
are (G) gathered in His name
There is (F) Love, there is (C) Love (D7 – F)
A man shall leave his mother
and a woman leave her home
And 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.
Well then (Fmaj) what’s to be the (Am)
reason for (G) becoming man and (C) wife?
Is it (Fmaj) love that brings you (Am)
here or (G) love that brings you (C) life?
And if (C) loving is the (G) answer,
then (Fmaj) who’s the (C) giving for?
Do you (Am) believe in (C) something
that you’ve (G) never seen before?
Oh there is (Fmaj) Love, there is (C) Love.
D7 – F – C – D7 – F – C – D7 – F
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.
ORIGINAL WORDS BEFORE SECOND RELEASE:
I am now to be among you at the calling of your hearts
Rest assured this troubadour is acting on My part.
The union of your spirits, here, has caused Me to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in My name
There am I, there is Love.
A man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home
And 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.
Well then what’s to be the reason for becoming man and wife?
Is it love that brings you here or love that brings you life?
And if loving is the answer, then who’s the giving for?
Do you believe in something that you’ve never seen before?
Oh there is Love, there is Love.
Oh the marriage of your spirits here has caused Me to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in My name
There am I, there is Love.
