The Wedding Song (There Is Love)

The Wedding Song (There Is Love) by Paul Stookey. Played at the Church of the Wayfarer in Carmel, CA for my sister's wedding. Sung with my wife. I'm playing a Martin DX-1 Tawny Satinwood acoustic guitar. Hope you enjoy!! God bless!

Song Lyrics: THE WEDDING SONG (THERE IS LOVE)
Recorded by: Paul Stookey
Written by: Paul Stookey ©1971 Public Domain Foundation

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.

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.
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,
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.

sounds great. Did you plug in the guitar or is that strictly unplugged?

[phycent]

bryharrell: Thanks! the guitar is strictly unplugged. I was also blown away by how well the individual notes carried. I'm sure the acoustics in the church had a lot to do with it, but the Martin guitar was the real deal. After a week of playing with it (was a rental), I wanted to purchase one for myself.

Oh my ... so inspirational... I want to cry everytime I hear this song.,... It pulls at your inner most being.... I love God so much..

[davidbrucemusicvideo]

OMG, this is amazing! I totally could feel God all over this right away, which is rare for me! I love the sound of your Martin! Never saw one like that before! I'm a bit bummed no one clapped. I guess they think God wouldn't approve.

I am blown away by every single note coming from your voices and the guitar. This is the best video of it so far. Awesome!!!I had never heard of that song before. I will be singing it tomorrow at a wedding accompanied by piano.

[jaynerobyn]

I can't wait to have this sung/played at my wedding! You guys did such a beautiful job! Two of my friends will be singing this while we light our unity candle. But...I don't know how I'm not going to cry when they do because I get choked up everytime I watch your video!!!!!!!! LOL! I'm such a sap ;)
