Moments of Grace ‎#20

20. There Is a Balm in Gilead

1. Sometimes I feel discouraged,
And think my work's in vain,
But then the Holy Spirit
Revives my soul again.

Refrain: There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole;
There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul.

2. If you can't preach like Peter,
If you can't pray like Paul,
Just tell the love of Jesus,
And say He dies for all.

Refrain

3. Don't ever feel discouraged,
For Jesus is your friend;
And if you lack for knowledge
He'll ne'er refuse to lend.

Refrain
