Where There is Love (AOV 1/87)

This is another song by David Haas. Done sympathetically, it would be fine for a wedding, but could find its place within an ordinary mass as well. We’ve never done this song, probably due to the chorus being mostly 4/4 and the verses mostly 3/4.  The verses also also go rather high, so you’d need a cantor or soloist for them.

It can purchased for download at OCP.

I’ve put two backings up for this song, the first being MIDI based and the second with more realtracks.

Refrain

Where there is love, there is God.
The love of God has gathered us together: Alleluia

(Rpt refrain first time only)

Verse 1

Love is patient, love is kind,
Never jealous, never proud,
Never seeking for one’s self,
Love never leads to anger.

Refrain

Verse 2

Love is gracious and forgiving
Taking no delight in wrong
Love rejoices in the truth
Love will endure

Refrain

Verse 3

Many things will pass away,
There are but three things that last;
Faith, Hope and Love;
The greatest of these is Love.

Refrain
