There is a balm 
In Gilead 
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm
In Gilead 
To save a sin-sick soul

If you 
Cannot preach 
Like Peter
If you cannot preach like Paul
Oh, you can tell 
The love of Jesus
You can say
He died for us all

There is a balm 
In Gilead 
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm 
In Gilead 
To save a sin-sick soul

Sometimes I feel discouraged
You know and I feel 
Like I can't go on
Oh, but then the Holy Spirit
Revives my soul again
Revives my soul, my soul again
