[Chorus] B7 Yes, I know when Jesus saved me (yes, He saved my soul), E The very moment He forgave me (yes, He made me whole); F#7 He took away my heavy burden (yes, He took my sin and), B7 And He gave me peace within (gave me peace within). E Satan can't make me doubt it (he can't make me doubt it), E7 A It's real and I'm gonna shout it (I'm gonna shout it); B7 'Cause I was there when it happened (oh, my Lord), E A E and I guess I ought to know (yes, I ought to know). E A E Now, I don't care who tells me, salvation is not real, B7 E A E Though the world may argue, that we cannot feel; n.c E E7 A The heavy burdens lifted and the vile sins go, B7 E A E But I was there when it happened and I guess I ought to know.
