One in Faith ‎#588

588. There Is a Balm in Gilead

Refrain:
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. [Refrain]

2 Don’t ever feel discouraged,
For Jesus is your friend,
And if you lack for knowledge,
He’ll not refuse to lend. [Refrain]

3 If you cannot preach like Peter,
If you cannot pray like Paul,
You can tell the love of Jesus
And say, “He died for all.” [Refrain]
