Balm In Gilead / Swing Low, Sweet Chariot - Diamanda Galas

There is a balm in Gilead

To make the wounded whole.

There is a balm in Gilead

To heal a tainted soul.

Some times I feel discouraged,

And think my work’s in vain,

But then the Holy Spirit

Revives my soul again.

I’m sometimes up, and sometimes down,

(Coming for to carry me home)

But still my soul feels heavenly bound.

(Coming for to carry me home)

If you get there before I do,

(Coming for to carry me home)

Tell all my friends I’m coming too.

(Coming for to carry me home)
