There is a balm in Gilead
lundi 15 mai 2006
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 Don’t ever be discouraged
For Jesus is your friend
And if you lack for knowledge
He’ll ne’er refuse to lend
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"
