The Old Account Lyrics

there was a time on earth
when in the book of Heaven
an old account was standing
rigid and unforgiven
my name was at the top
and many things to know
I went unto the keeper
and settled long ago
long ago (long ago)
long ago (long ago)
yes the old account was
settled long ago
and the record's clear today
where He washed my sins away
and the old account was settled long ago

the old account was large
and it was growin everyday
I was always sinnin
and I never tried to pay
but when I looked at Him
and saw such pain & woe
I said that I would settle
and I settled long ago
long ago (long ago)
long ago (long ago)
yes the old account was
settled long ago
and the record's clear today
I washed my sins away
and the old account was settled long ago
long ago (long ago)
long ago (long ago)
yes the old account was
settled long ago
and the record's clear today
I washed my sins away
and the old account was settled long ago

Yes the old account was settled long ago
