Balm in Gilead – African American Spiritual
There is a balm in Gilead,
to make the wounded whole,
there is a balm in Gilead,
to heal the sin-sick soul.
1. Sometimes I feel discouraged,
and think my work’s in vain,
but then the Holy Spirit
revives my soul again.
2. If you cannot preach like Peter,
if you cannot pray like Paul,
you can tell the love of Jesus,
who died to save us all.
