Paul Stookey wrote to me personally when I wrote him a letter and asked how he played this song. I did not realize at the time that he tuned his 12 string down a step and a half and played it with G, C, and D shaped chords. Beautiful song written by a beautiful soul! God bless him.

Nöel is truly an amazing soul🎶❤😎 Anyone who has interacted with him is better for it👆😎 I made a comment about my encounters with him, but I'll also share it here with you: """This song is iconic🎶❤ In 1996 (I believe it was) at what once was Pease Air Force Base, in Portsmouth Harbor, NH...Peter, Paul & Mary played a "final show" that summer. I know...because I was their "OPENER/1st ACT" (in my short-lived hey-day as a folk musician)🎶😎❤🎸 I keep a very light acquaintance with Nöel to this day. His groundskeeper/landscaper (John Veazie) in Kennebunk-Port is a good friend of mine & goes to the same church Nöel attends...when he's back home in Maine. This song is one of the many that shaped my personal writing & playing style these last 3 decades (although I've worked in many ever-changing genres). Nöel is "up there" in age...but I wish him a continuing long & fruitful life🎶❤🙏 👆with all my heart❤🙏"""

It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never ends.......

I smiled and walked away mesmiriized...After the 3 did about a 45 minute set and went inside for a break...After about 10 minutes Paul came out solo and made an announcement...He stated that as he was walking to the show a "fan" requested this song....I stood up immediately and balled my eyes out as he proceeded to sing this song....I am quite sure Mr Stookey did this as a favor.

Some things about this song that may help to bring some understanding and light to this discussion This song, "There is Love" the Wedding Song was written by Noel Paul Stookey for his friend, co-band member of "Peter, Paul and Mary" for the wedding of Peter Yarrow. Noel was a Christian, a follower and believer of Jesus Christ, Peter was not. Noel wrote the song from the perspective of his faith. It is filled with quotes and references from the Bible. In the song, Noel repeats words Jesus spoke as recorded in the Bible by His followers. Twice in the song, Noel writes " whenever two are more are you are gathered in His name " This is from Matthew 18:20 where Jesus said, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them' Noel, begins the song with - "He is now to be among you..." This is a reference to the God that Joel follows. The God of the Bible. He speaks of a man leaving his mother and a woman leaving her home. and of two becoming one. This is from the teachings about marriage in the Bible. Noel writes - " as it was in the beginning..." He is referring to the marriage of Adam and Eve as recorded in the Bible. Noel writes that "woman takes her life from man'. This is from the record in the Bible that man was made first by God and then Eve was made from a part of man. Noel also writes in the song "Do you believe in something that you've never seen before?" This is from the perspective of his Christian faith of believing in the God of the Bible where it says that "God is Love." This information is openly available and can be confirmed by searching the internet. Thank you.

I am looking for the comic monologue he gives just before this song. About magazines, and trying to bluff when someone asks him a question when he brain was over at the punch bowl. Do you know of a video of that part? So funny!

You’re not going to believe me but Peter Paul and Mary popped into my head I was just thinking it didn’t know they existed I thought it had something to do with the Bible. So I searched google and they popped up. So I thought ok they have a message for me, started listening to their songs and they move me blowing in the wind, early morning rain, 500 miles. It’s like they have this strong inner knowing, the answer is and forever will be love. This song especially I’m drawn to like a moth to the flame. He is radiating love onto everyone so desperately longing for it to be whole complete one again. Soon, soon, soon. Love you all. 💗

Some dear friends sang this song at our wedding in June 1973, 47+ years ago. It always brings a wonderful memory when I hear it. My wife has been battling cancer for 22 years and, sadly, it looks like her fight will be ending later this year. What a treasure this song is for us. I wouldn’t trade this life for anything.

I can't help but just bawl when I hear this. He is so full of love. He is making sure everyone in the audience feels it. He looks out at all the people in different parts of the concert hall. The fact that he gave this song to public domain speaks more about him than anything else.
