Couplet 1

I'm wondering if
There's a balm in Gilead
Can it heal every wound
That I've ever had
Can it break the chains
Can it find its way down
Where it's really bad
Can it give me strength
So I can make it to the end

Couplet 2

I'm wondering if
There's a balm in Gilead
Does it come for free cause
I've got nothing in my hands
Can it cauterize can it sterilize
All the bleeding and bring me back
Can it stop the noise
From all voices in my head

Pré-Refrain

God I need Your oil
Pour it out on me
Lead me to the water
Teach me how to drink

Refrain

Restore my soul
Restore my soul
Restore my soul

Couplet 3

I'm finding out
There's a balm in Gilead
It has the face of a lion
And bleeds just like a lamb
It breaks the spell
It sends back to hell
Everything I'm up against
When I forget it reminds me
Again just who I am

Pré-Refrain

God I need Your oil
Pour it out on me
Lead me to the water
Teach me how to drink

Refrain

Restore my soul
Restore my soul
Restore

Post-Refrain

My soul my soul
My soul my soul

Pont

From my head to my toes
There is one who makes me whole
The great physician righting wrongs
He can't drain Gilead of its balm
Let it run and overflow
Deep into my bones

Refrain

Restore my soul
Restore my soul
Restore my soul
My soul
