Lyrics

He is now to be among you
at the calling of your hearts.
Rest assured this troubadour is acting on His part.
The union 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

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 until the end.
Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again.
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.
For if loving is the answer then who's the giving for.
Do you believe in something that you've never seen before
There is love

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.
