Taizé Three 4/2/25 “There Is a Balm”

Tonight was our church’s (Asbury Memorial, Savannah) third Taize service of the 2025 Lenton season.

Taize is a meditative worship service known for simple, repetitive chants, scripture readings, and times of silence, originating from the Taizé community in France.

Peacefully beautiful as usual, with the theme this evening of “There is a balm in Gilead.”

Whatever our faith (or lack thereof), we all probably need a balm from time to time, a gentle soothing.

The tranquil chorus we sang several times throughout the thirty minute service:

“There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole; There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul.”

May we all experience a Bit of Balm this lovely Springtime Season.
