The Balm in Gilead

Here is another old song that recurs in my memory from time to time, though it is not commonly sung in church anymore. For some reason it is such a striking song to me that I can (I think) recall the 1-2 times that it has been sung in church in the last 20 years. Here is a version of it I found by Karen Clark-Sheard. She really kicks it up a notch!
There is a balm in Gilead, to make the wounded whole,there is a balm in Gilead, to heal the sinsick soul. There is a balm in Gilead, to make the wounded whole, there is a balm in Gilead, to heal the sinsick soul. Sometimes I feel discouraged, and think my work's in vain, but then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again. 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."
