Text:There Is a Balm in Gilead
Tune:[Some times I feel discouraged]
Media:MIDI file

6790. 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. Some times I feel discouraged,
And think my work’s in vain,
But then the Holy Spirit
Revives my soul again. [Refrain]

2. If you can’t preach like Peter,
If you can’t pray like Paul,
Just tell the love of Jesus,
And say He died for all. [Refrain]
