I Was There When It Happened

You ask me how I know that Jesus saves me

How I know that all my sins are white as snow;

You ask me how I know that He forgave me;

Now listen

I must tell you how I know.

I was there when it happened

and I ought to know;

His Spirit burning in me

set my heart aglow;

So I praise the Lord today

He has washed my sins away;

I was there when it happened

and I ought to know.

You ask me how I know that He redeemed me;

And how I received the peace no gold can buy;

How from the guilt and pow’r of sin He saved me

Made me an heir to mansions in the sky.

And now

as thru the world I go rejoicing

I am telling what a Savior dwells within;

How I plunged into the cleansing

crimson fountain

And Jesus washed my soul from ev’ry sin.
