The Wedding Song

By Peter, Paul and Mary

He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts
Rest assured this troubador 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
And they shall travel on to where the two shall be as one.
As it was in the beginning is now and until 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?
Or if loving is the answer, then who's the giving for?
Do you believe in something that you've never seen before?
Oh there's 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. Oh there's Love.

  • Great Wedding Song

    I had it sung at my wedding 34 years ago (1978). My daughter is getting married in 3/2013 and I am going to surprise her by having it sung at her wedding. I have always loved this song...

  • God...creator of marriage!

    I am having a friend play the guitar to this song while a lady from my church sings it while we light the unity candle. I can't think of a more perfect song! I cried the first time I heard it. It's just a reminder to all of us that God has always been and still is the creator of marriage. And with Him my fiance and I will still be happy and in love 50 years from now.
