Lyrics
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.
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 thro' the world I go rejoicing,
I am telling what a Saviour dwells within;
How I plung'd into the cleansing, crimson fountain,
And Jesus wash'd my soul from ev'ry sin.
Chorus:
I was there when it happen'd, 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 happen'd, and I ought to know.
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.
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 thro' the world I go rejoicing,
I am telling what a Saviour dwells within;
How I plung'd into the cleansing, crimson fountain,
And Jesus wash'd my soul from ev'ry sin.
Chorus:
I was there when it happen'd, 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 happen'd, and I ought to know.
