I Was There When It Happened (Remastered 2020)

I Was There When It Happened (Remastered 2020) - Johnny Cash

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 so I guess I ought to know

Yes I know when Jesus saved me

(yes He saved my soul)

The very moment He forgave me

(yes He made me whole)

He took away my heavy burden

(yes He took my sin and)

And He gave me peace within

(gave me peace within)

Satan can't make me doubt it

(he can't make me doubt it)

It's real and I'm gonna shout it

(I'm gonna shout it)

'Cause I was there when it happened

(oh my Lord)

And I guess I ought to know

(yes 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 so I guess I ought to know
