There are some Epeople,A who say we cannot Etell,
Whether we are B7saved or, whether all is Ewell; AE
n.cThey say we only can Ehope and, E7trust that it is Aso ,
But I was there when it B7happened and I guess I ought to Eknow. AE



Chorus
Yes, I know when Jesus B7 saved me (yes, He saved my soul),
The very moment He E forgave me (yes, He made me whole);
He took away my heavy F#7 burden (yes, He took my sin and),
And He gave me peace B7 within (gave me peace within).
Satan can't make me E doubt it (he can't make me doubt it),
E7It's real and I'm gonna A shout it (I'm gonna shout it);
'Cause I was there when itB7 happened (oh, my Lord),
and I guess I ought to Eknow (yes, AI ought tE o know).


Now, I don't care who Etells me, Asalvation is not E real,
Though the world may B7argue, that we cannot Efeel; AE
n.cThe heavy burdens Elifted and the E7vile sins Ago,
But I was there when it B7happened and I guess I ought to Eknow. A E>
