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
Well, I was there when it happened
And so I guess I ought to know
Yes, I know when Jesus saved me
The very moment He forgave me
He took away my heavy burdens
Lord he gave me peace within
Satan can't make me doubt it
It's real and I'm gonna shout it
I was there when it happened
And so I guess I ought to know
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
I was there when it happened
And so I guess I ought to know
Yes, I know when Jesus saved me
The very moment He forgave me
He took away my heavy burdens
Lord he gave me peace within
Satan can't make me doubt it
It's real and I'm gonna shout it
I was there when it happened
And so I guess I ought to know
