Here's the lyrics to the African American spiritual "There Is A Balm In Gilead":
There Is a Balm in Gilead
There is a balm in Gilead
to make the wounded whole
There is a balm in Gilead
to heal the sin sick soul
Sometimes I feel discouraged
and think my work's in vain,
but then the Holy Spirit
revives my soul again.
There is a balm in Gilead
to make the wounded whole
There is a balm in Gilead
to heal the sin sick soul.
If you cannot preach like Peter,
if you cannot pray like Paul,
you can tell the love of Jesus
and how He died for all.
There is a balm in Gilead
to make the wounded whole.
There is a balm in Gilead
to heal the sin sick soul.
