Текст песни I Was There When It Happened - Remastered 2022 - 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
Well, I was there when it happened, and I guess I ought to know

Yes, I know when Jesus saved me (saved my soul)
The very moment He forgave me (made me whole)
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'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

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 (saved my soul)
The very moment He forgave me (made me whole)
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'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, oh, oh
