Lyrics

[00:07.49] There are some people, who say we cannot tell,
[00:14.85] Whether we are saved or, whether all is well
[00:21.84] They say we only can hope and, trust that it is so,
[00:28.96] But I was there when it happened and so I guess I ought to know.
[00:36.36] Yes, I know when Jesus saved me (He saved my soul),
[00:40.10] The very moment He forgave me (He made me whole)
[00:43.49] He took away my heavy burden
[00:46.24] Lord he gave me peace within (peace within).
[00:50.74] Satan can't make me doubt it (I won't doubt it),
[00:54.42] It's real and I'm gonna shout it (I'm gonna shout it)
[00:58.11] I was there when it happened
[01:00.69] And so I guess I ought to know
[01:12.45] I don't care who tells me, salvation is not real,
[01:19.71] Though the world may argue, that we cannot feel
[01:26.67] The heavy burdens lifted and the vile sins go,
[01:33.91] I was there when it happened and so I guess I ought to know.
[01:41.17] Yes, I know when Jesus saved me (He saved my soul),
[01:44.90] The very moment He forgave me (He made me whole)
[01:48.41] He took away my heavy burden
[01:51.02] Lord he gave me peace within (peace within).
[01:55.49] Satan can't make me doubt it (I won't doubt it),
[01:59.18] It's real and I'm gonna shout it (I'm gonna shout it)
[02:02.83] I was there when it happened
[02:05.36] And so I guess I ought to know
