[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]

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 a

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]

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 so I guess I ought to know
