Text Based On Jeremiah Chapter 46
Go up into Gilead, and take balm,
O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in
vain shalt thou use many medicines;
for thou shalt not be cured.
Words & Music: African American Spiritual
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.
Some times I feel discouraged,
And think my work’s in vain,
But then the Holy Spirit
Revives my soul again.
Refrain
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.
Don't ever feel discouraged,
For Jesus is your friend;
And if you lack for knowledge
He'll ne'er refuse to lend.
Refrain
