THERE'S ALWAYS A BALM IN GILEAD
'Is there no balm in Gilead: is there no
physician there?" Jeremiah 8:22
There’s always a balm in Gilead
as long as the Spirit of the Lord
is there
No matter the circumstances
or how dire, the balm of Gilead
will see us through and through
While healing is a matter of the body,
head, or heart, the Lord desires the healing
of our spirit, too
The falling of snow is God's given sign
of our sins gracefully covered while our
souls are gently made clean
O yes, dear neighbors, there is a balm
in Gilead, and in your hometown, too
as Jesus comes with healing in his wings
for you, and you, and you
