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 burden Lord He gave me peace within (peace within) Satan can't make me doubt it (I won't doubt) 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 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 (saved my soul) The very moment He forgave me (made me whole) He took away my heavy burden Lord He gave me peace within (peace within) Satan can't make me doubt it (I won't doubt) 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
