There are some people who say we cannot tell
Whether we are saved or whether all is well
They say we only can hope and
trust that it is so
But I was there when it happened
and so I guess I ought to know
Yes I know when Jesus saved me
(yes He saved my soul)
The very moment He forgave me
(yes He made me whole)
He took away my heavy burden
And He gave me peace within
(gave me peace within)
Satan can't make me doubt it
(I won't doubt it)
It's real and I'm gonna shout it
(I'm gonna shout it)
I was there when it happened
and so I guess I ought to know
Now I don't care who tells me
salvation is not real
Though the world may argue
that we cannot feel
The heavy burdens lifted and the vile sins go
But I was there when it happened
and so I guess I ought to know
Yes I know when Jesus saved me
(yes He saved my soul)
The very moment He forgave me
(yes He made me whole)
He took away my heavy burden
And He gave me peace within
（peace within）
Satan can't make me doubt it
(I won't doubt it)
It's real and I'm gonna shout it
(I'm gonna shout it)
I was there when it happened
and so I guess I ought to know
