I Was There When It Happened (2017 Remaster)

My dad recommended this song to me right after I told him my testimony of how I became a Christian. What I told him reminded him of it. October 6, 2010. Never been the same since.

"You know exactly what I'm telling you. We've already heard that song a hundred times. Just like that. Just like how you sing it. If you was hit by a truck and you was lying out there in that gutter dying, and you had time to sing one song, one song that people would remember before you're dirt, one song that would let God know how you felt about your time here on Earth, one song that would sum you up, you tellin' me that's the song you'd sing? That same Jimmy Davis tune we hear on the radio all day, about your peace within, and how it's real, and how you're gonna shout it? Or would you sing somethin' different? Somethin' real? Somethin' you felt?"

Interesting that so many people loved Johnny & Elvis yet they were sincere in their faith as Christians! It was always there as a core of their lives!

One Of My Favorite Songs Of Johnny Cash 🙏🏼

I was there when it happened - Jesus is real!

I'm not even religious and I love this song.

My new favorite Johnny Cash song!

This has to be my favorite JC song. ❤ Don't know many that'd say the same. But, when you know what you've been redeemed from, and where you're headed, these lyrics are PRECISE! Blessings from Austin ❤️‍🔥

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 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
