There Is a Balm in Gilead

There Is a Balm in Gilead - Giants/Pilgrims

There is a balm in Gilead

It comes like a wisdom

But speaks like children

It's a sight to the blind

A strength to my weakness

Something for soul body mind

There is a balm in Gilead

It's a rest for the weary

Song to the sore

It's like a dew to my dryness

That fills me with joy when I had none

There is a balm in Gilead

It's a spring in the desert

For the withered of soul

It's a strength and a power

That keeps making you whole

It's the question your asking

And the answers you need

It's the face you've been seeking

The one you've been begging to see

There is a balm in Gilead

Is the trash and the remnants

Of all my train wrecks

Coming together

And still heading out west

Like a blank paycheck paying off the back rent

Taking me further to

Whatever's supposed happen next

There is a balm in Gilead

Is the light of the dawn

The scales without measure

It's the bread of a baker

The blood of a maker

The water I long for

And the story on fire

It's the breath and the magic

It's something to die for

And the laying down of the shepherd at night

There is a balm in Gilead

There is a balm in Gilead

There is a balm in Gilead
