Lyrics

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 I guess I ought to know

Yes,i know when jesus saved me (saved my soul)
The very moment he forgave me (made me whole);
He took away my heavy burdens, lord 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 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 I guess I ought to know
