'There is a balm in Gilead'.

'There is a balm in Gilead',
sung unaccompanied by The Adventist Vocal Ensemble.

[@vincemartinflying]

Beautiful rendition. Well done choir. There truly is a healing power in Jesus. May each of us find him!

[@k.rlevine2051]

Yes!

[@soilmanted]

@vincemartinflying Beautiful music. There is a healing power in music, in listening to music, and in making music. I was particularly taken by what I heard from the woman who began speaking at 1:40. Not her language, but her music. Peter, Jesus, I have no use for them or what they might have said. I love the music of people making music _now._

[@vanessab2726]

@@soilmanted I hope someday you will find a use for Jesus Christ because he saved your soul and without him you’re gonna pay for your own sins. Because of our sin, we are all condemned, but Jesus paid the price. What a love ❤

[@klaaskloosterman6641]

Nearly every Sunday I will start the day with listening to the choir singing so impressively this spiritual. Just before joining the church meeting I have to know that I was sinsick last week, but there is still that wonderful balm of Gilead. Thanks for this wonderful performance.

[@ditcher41a2]

I entirely agree Klaas. When I first heard it it brought tears to my eyes and I had to find out who the singers were and where it was recorded. I decided to take the risk of recording it and sharing it on KZbin, whatever the consequences. Otherwise the performance could have sunk into oblivion. I did the same with 'There's a sweet, sweet spirit in this place' kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2qoeKqhntKBm7M. They have never sung better on 'Songs of Praise' and the broadcaster has not taken action against me. It sounds as if you are viewing it in exactly the right way. May God Bless you.

[@shebrownsuga]

They sing so heavenly. On repeat. It's like the gates of heaven are opened and we are able to hear this coming from it.

[@alanbourbeau24]

Though we disciples of Christ sometimes feel downhearted and discouraged, we shouldn't ever give up hope and God. Because in the end, things will be better in the future. Being a disciple of Christ isn't easy but if a Christian like me remains faithful. The eternal reward awaits us.

[@k.rlevine2051]

Yes!!

[@joannakos5257]

So many beautiful faces!

[@dcdillon67]

One of my favorite songs. I learned it as a child. Now, I am 52 and at times, I literally cry out to God for his peace. When this song comes to mind, I have to play it, stop and really listen. So peaceful. Simple. Honest

[@sharonnims8008]

YES 🙌 LORD JESUS CHRIST

[@bro8974]

A most consoling song in this time of confinement. Let us ask the Lord to send His healing balm on the entire world.

[@ascent8487]

I had this song playing in my head all day today. Just thought I’d listen before I head to bed. God be with you and your family. God be with us all.

[@nhess8590]

Amen

[@nhess8590]

Ascent boy I needed to hear this ..

[@dianas.9715]

I looked up this song after a doctor said to me, “How the f-ck did you not get the virus?”, after being heavily exposed. I’m not saying it worked- but I used propolis nose spray, and propolis throat spray and gargles. I use propolis on skin too- and I told the doctor- it is in the Bible- the balm of Gilead, propolis. I got turned onto it by a veterinarian for my dogs skin. It is the Balm of Gilead.

[@healthyliving4624]

In 2021 and in this time of uncertainty and pain, this Song, sung by this choir brings peace. I believe there is a Balm in Gilead.

[@alanbourbeau24]

Whenever I listen to this church song, I think of one of my cousins who suffers from depression and it’s clinical depression because he’s on medication that hopefully helps with his depression and hopefully he doesn’t take his life at all because if that happens, my mom and I and his parents will be devastated emotionally. So let’s hope and pray that he doesn’t take his life and hopefully he’ll keep up with his medication.

[@lovesings2us]

Such beautiful, string and tender voices! Thank you so much to all the singers and everyone who made this blessed video possible.

[@lovesings2us]

Whoops, sorry! I meant "strong" not "string."

[@doughenning7817]

Comforting reminder that there is hope in the midst of our present chaos.

[@johnwatson7164]

this is the most moving choir and its delivery of the balm in gilead the most moving of all. This is a forever piece

[@sharonnims8008]

Absolutely Marvelous 😃

[@valp9972]

How beautifully, and reverently, this choir sings this great spiritual. And how rare it is, to hear something sung with such deep reverence. Oh, thank you, dear friends in Christ; you have blessed me, today.

[@randystrand908]

Agree... Well said, Val P

[@TheWriterWalker]

Beautifully stated!

[@angelawillard871]

[@veracaselles2636]

Amazing message for today's world. We need His healing and comfort so badly!

[@cherub6303]

Beautiful, thank you for posting

[@Ravenccs1]

I can't get enough of this wonderful song/video! The harmony, balance and arrangement is breathtaking. Each individual contributes equally to the perfection of the sound of the whole group! No one is trying to outdo anyone else - it is a mutual effort to the resulting sound. WOW! (Isn't that symbolic of how Christians are to encourage and support each other?) Look at the smiles on the faces as they sing - each of them seem to mean what they are saying. The Director and each member of this vocal group are an inspiration to me. Bless you all! I have listened to this probably over 100 times in the last week. It brings me such pleasure. Thanks for posting this! :)

Two weeks ago when I was at my uncle's awake, I felt some grief coming in but it didn't affect me until the next day at work. The day after my uncle's awake. I was working productively but one of my work associates was criticizing me. Obviously I was in the process of grief. By the time I got home, I was listening to this song and started crying.

That was so beautiful, it brought comfort to my heart.

[@linnetbrown3169]

I am in agreement with everyone that this is a lovely song that gives hope.

[@edwardwalsh5477]

So very much more in that 1) it acknowledges need for healing, 2) provides real hope for healing that so many of us need at one or more times of our lives - genuine healing by the Lord Jesus' intervention on my behalf and every other needy person of all time and place, just for believing His promises. While this song requires Scriptural explanation to be fully effective, it can be a beautiful starting point for musicians inclined toward such instruction.

[@tajedi]

Such a beautiful song and such a beautiful group singing it!
