Verse 1
      G                                          D
He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts.
C                                            G
Rest assured this troubador is acting on His part.
                  D                  C             G
The union of your spirits, here, has caused Him to remain.
    Em             G               D
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name,
         C              G
there is Love. There is Love.

Verse 2
       G                   D           C               G
Well a man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home.
    Em                G              D
And they shall travel on to where the two shall be as one.
      G          D           C                 G
As it was in the beginning is now and until the end.
Em              G                D 
Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again.
             C              G
And there is Love. There is Love.

Chorus 
          C                Am        D               G 
Well then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife?
      C                    Am     D                    G       
Is it Love that brings you here or Love that brings you life?
      G             D            C                G    
Or if loving is the answer, then who's the giving for?
   Em            G                     D 
Do you believe in something that you've never seen before?
            C             G
Oh there's Love, there is Love.

       G                D               C             G
Oh the marriage of your spirits here has caused Him to remain.
    Em             G               D 
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name,
         C                 G
there is Love. Oh… there's Love.
