Balm in Gilead Lyrics
[Verse]
There is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul
There is a balm (There is a balm) in Gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm (There is a balm) in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul
[Bridge]
If you can pray like Peter
If you can preach like Paul

He died to save us all
[Outro]
There is a balm (There is a balm) in Gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm (There is a balm) in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul
There is a balm (There is a balm) in Gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm (There is a balm) in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul
