The Old Account

Well, it was a time on earth

When in the books of heaven

An old account was standing

For sins yet unforgiven

My name was at the top

And many things below

But I went unto the keeper

And settled it long ago

Long ago, long ago(Down on my knees I settled it all)

Yes, the old account was settled long ago(Hallelujah)

And the record's clear today'

Cause He washed my sins away

And the old account was settled long ago

Well, the old account was large

And growin' every day

And I was always sinnin'

And I never tried to pray

But when I looked ahead

And saw such pain and woe

Well, I went unto the keeper

And settled it long ago

Long ago, long ago(Down on my knees I settled it all)

Yes, the old account was settled long ago(Hallelujah)

And the record's clear today'

Cause He washed my sins away

And the old account was settled long ago

Now sinner seek the

LordRepent of all your sins'

Cause this

He has commanded

If you would enter in

And then if you should live

A hundred years below

Well, you know you got it settled'

Cause you settled it long ago

Long ago, long ago(Down on my knees I settled it all)

Yes, the old account was settled long ago(Hallelujah)

And the record's clear today'

Cause He washed my sins away

And the old account was settled long ago

Long ago
