There Is a Balm in Gilead - Hymn for October

 It's fall, ya'll! I pray all is well with each of you today.  The hymn that I aim to learn for this month is one that I am not very familiar with but nonetheless, a beautiful song.

[Refrain] Don't ever be discouraged, For Jesus is your friend; And if you lack for knowledge, He'll ne'er refuse to lend. [Refrain] If you cannot preach like Peter, If you cannot pray like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus and say, "He died for all!"

I was a bit nervous.  My eyes were shut tight the whole time during the MRI.  I didn't dare open them for fear o...
