I was there when it happened

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus 2] Satan can't make me doubt it, I won't doubt it It's real and I'm going to shout it, I'm going to shout it I was there when it happened And so I guess I ought to know [Verse 2] I don't care who tells me salvation is not real Though the world may argue, that we cannot feel The heavy burden's lifted and the vile sins go I was there when it happened and so I guess I ought to know [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2]
