An Old Account Settled
There was a time on earth when in the book of heaven, An old account was standing for sins yet unforgiven; My name was at the top, and many things below, I went unto the Keeper, and settled long ago.
Long ago, long ago, Yes, the old account was settled long ago; And the record's clear today, for He washed my sins away, When the old account was settled long ago.
The old account was large, and growing every day, For I was always sinning, and never tried to pay; But when I looked ahead, and saw such pain and woe, I said that I would settle, and settled long ago.
Long ago, long ago, Yes, the old account was settled long ago; And the record's clear today, for He washed my sins away, When the old account was settled long ago.
When at the judgment bar I stand before my King, And He the book will open, He cannot find a thing; Then will my heart be glad, while tears of joy will flow, Because I had it settled, and settled long ago.
Long ago, long ago, Yes, the old account was settled long ago; And the record's clear today, for He washed my sins away, When the old account was settled long ago.
O sinner, seek the Lord, repent of all your sin, For thus He has commanded, if you would enter in; And then if you should live a hundred years below, E'en here you'll not regret it, you settled long ago.
Long ago, long ago, Yes, the old account was settled long ago; And the record's clear today, for He washed my sins away, When the old account was settled long ago.
