Gilead's Balm

Sometimes we come suddenly face-to-face with our own brokenness, and it's as though we could feel its seams like the raised skin of a scar beneath our fingertips, and we are only too aware that we cannot heal ourselves.

There is a song that I like for such days. 

There is a balm in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul.
There is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole.

Sometimes I get discouraged
And feel my hope's in vain.
But then the Holy Spirit
Revives my soul again.

There is a balm in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul.
There is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole.

If you can't preach like Peter,
If you can't pray like Paul,
Just tell the love of Jesus
And that He died for all.
