I Was There When It Happened Lyrics - Johnny Cash
Review The Song (1)
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,
But 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 burdens, 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 I guess I ought to know
Now, 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 gone,
But I was there when it happened and I guess I ought to know.
Whether we are saved or, whether all is well;
They say we only can hope and, trust that it is so,
But 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 burdens, 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 I guess I ought to know
Now, 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 gone,
But I was there when it happened and I guess I ought to know.

Word change? | Reviewer: Andrew | 12/28/10
I can't help but wonder if some words were changed; if they hadn't been changed the song may have been labeled 'too preachy'.
"There are some people, who say we cannot tell, whether we are saved or, whether all is well...."
Could it originally have been:
"There are some people, who say we cannot tell, whether we are saved or, on our way to hell..."
That just kinda jumped out at me the FIRST time I heard it.
Great song, sung by a man I am sure is in heaven right now.
