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.

[@maestroaxeman]

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❤🙏"""

I played a 12 string guitar years ago and I was watching his chords. I saw the G! Also I noticed that, though it is shaped like a "potato bug" mandolin, it is a 12 string guitar!

Amen, Words of Jesus...Matthew 18: 19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” Ephesians 5: 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 1 Corinthians 13: 4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. 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.

[@lw216316]

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."

If that's what you believe, we have no argument.

My maid of honor 's dad and sister played this at my wedding. it was beautiful. they practiced for weeks to get it right. can never thank them enough for giving this song to us on our special day.

[@ScottCrozier]

As a guitarist, I love the tone of that wonderful 12-string.

[@jeffmueller6825]

Don't know why I'm balling while hearing this song. Very emotional.

[@A.RandomLattin]

Peter Yarrow, Thank you for the impact you had on the folk music. ❤RIP❤

[@asdljfwew]

One of the best versions, with the sound from that 12-string, just amazing.

[@guittern]

Thanx, and from the maker: The 12's just keep getting better. :)

[@chrishatton2642]

The sound of his guitar is absolutely sublime.

[@markalshouse7484]

I have sung this for countless weddings, still brings chills to me. There is Love.....

[@PapaDDC]

I sang this song for both of my daughter's weddings ♥🧡

[@farnorthweaver7793]

I grew up with a couple of brothers that sang and played folk music. When Peter, Paul, and Mary came along, that was it for all of us. This song was "it" for me... Thank you, and GOD Bless you, for bringing it home to me today!

[@djjim01]

Far North Weaver My wife picked this for one of the songs in our wedding back in 1975. Five days ago (9/20/14) was our 39th anniversary :-)

[@farnorthweaver7793]

djjim01 Wonderful!!

[@TheStarflight41]

A masterpiece caught forever in time for us to view. Gifted. Sublime.

[@brianlykins6663]

I'll love this song as long as I can hear it played. My wife and I had this at our wedding 48 years ago, loved it, and then love it still. The perfect wedding song from a near perfect singer !!!

[@valerieasebedo767]

I walked down the isle to this song June 21,1997 .... we’ll be married 22 yrs tomorrow 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️ 🙏🏻There is love 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻

[@lisaeberlein4287]

PP&M will always be one of the most iconic groups in music history. This is the most beautiful song that has ever been written, in my mind....

[@marksnell9268]

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face has to be a close second.

[@badplay156]

The sad thing is nowadays, if they are known at all, they are written off as a trivial group of no importance. They don't realize how they were THE folk singers and, along with Bob Dylan, were some of the leaders of the civil rights movement.

[@tobys_transport_videos]

This song hasn't aged a day in the 35 or so years I've known it. To me it's virtual musical bliss! Watching Noel/Paul enjoying himself as he plays that beautiful 12 string, with no other musical accompaniment, is a vision of pure talent! 😍😍

[@Gidget13mwa]

Married for 50 years wish I had known this song! Gives me chills!❤️❤️

[@kevinhickey3515]

He owns this song in every way. Love it now and always have.......Beautiful.....

[@breathlesshaste]

My cousin sang this at my wedding in 1995. Such a beautiful song!

[@SteveRaab100]

I believe Paul Stookey was truly "Divinely Inspired" in writing this song for his friend, Peter...(So admirable to have 'all proceeds going to Charitable donations, since 1971) ....(Peter, Paul, & Mary songs will last forever....❤) !!!!!

[@johns1280]

Unfortunately they don't make songs like this anymore. Beautiful.

[@suebissonette6383]

This is the song I walked down the aisle to in 1983. It's such a beautiful song.

[@bubbamom1]

My wedding song 35 years ago marriage didn’t last but this song sure did

[@annettesjoy]

Mine was 23 years ago. My ex didn't want to be married. 5 years later and we both are able to have a decent relationship. I had this song at my wedding too. So beautiful, I believe this song, The way we were, and We've only just begun I think are the most beautiful songs ever.

[@debrajones4840]

Our main wedding song June 22, 1974! I miss that man so much! I will be so happy when he comes home!

[@MsPatECakes]

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. 💗

[@gingerleigh_]

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.

[@LewWhite10]

Phyllis and I are celebrating our 43rd anniversary of our marriage as of yesterday, 8-18-2016! It is one of our favorite songs about marriage. This song has always been a powerful reminder of the relationship between Yahusha and His bride, and the purpose for which He created all of us: to love Him, and be His companions forever!

[@gebswife]

Lew White it is a great allegory of Christ and His bride. What a Glorious Day that will be.

[@patriciaswanson8463]

I am 72 years old and this is a beautiful song

[@shannonpruitt8780]

Sang at wedding when I married my beautiful best friend. Getting close to our 24th anniversary. I love you Jodi

[@nvl513]

So many happy memories of this song. My late husband, a musician and singer, sang this to me at our wedding many years ago. Such a beautiful song - brings tears to my eyes.

[@scootertd]

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.

[@carrienyquist8859]

This was played and sung at my wedding on December 17. 1978 it will 38 years this year. The song is as true as it was then . They don't write music like this anymore! which is really sad forever a peter ,Paul and Mary fan. Carriefornia

[@markrogers7546]

I've sung this song at several weddings since the 1970s. One of the most truly inspired songs ever written. akes you away to another place. Beautiful.

[@GABRIELEsongs]

His guitar playing and his singing mingle oh so beautifully ... so beautifully ...

[@Woody615]

"Wedding Song" and Carpenter's "We've only just begun" are my two favorite wedding songs. Both are pure and simple, very contemplative in nature. Always wanted to have them sung at my wedding, but alas, never found the right girl.

[@keithfaulkner6319]

Yeah.

[@marianboudreau1337]

these are the two songs sung at our wedding in 1971. beautiful memories

[@gfurstnsu]

I will be singing this song at one of my students weddings in Seoul, South Korea on December 2nd. Will be playing it on my Larivée 12 string. I hope that I get through it without crying. She was one of my favorite teaching assistants at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. I seldom felt such joy as when I received a message from her asking me to sing at her wedding. I only hope that this leads to more requests in the future.

[@carolyndevonshire8074]

It was played at my wedding too and was lovely. So many wonderful memories!

[@greglubow3298]

We need love and compassion, and strength, more than ever now. Saw Peter and Paul in Tarrytown earlier this year - wonderful.
