Johnny Cash Lyrics

"I Was There When It Happened" lyrics


(Jimmie Davis - Fern Jones)

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

Yes I know when Jesus saved me (saved my soul)
The very moment he forgave me (made me hope)
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)
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
[ guitar ]
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...
