Ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh.

Sometimes I feel discouraged and I think my work's in vain, but then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again,
If you can't preach like Peter, and if you can't pray like Paul, you can tell the love of Jesus and say he died for all.

There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole,
There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sinful soul,
There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole,
There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sinful soul.

Ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
