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 and till the end Woman draws her life from man And gives it back again There is Love, there is Love Well, there must have been a reason For becoming man and wife Is it love that brings it here, Or Love that brings you life? (Is it law that brings you here, Or Love that gives 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? Oh, there is Love, Oh, there's Love. Oh, the marriage (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.
