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.
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.
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.
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.
