The Old Account Full Lyrics
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
Yes, the old account was settled long ago
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
Yes, the old account was settled long ago
And the record's clear today
'Cause he washed my sins away
And the old account was settled long ago
Now sinner seek the Lord
Repent 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
Yes, the old account was settled long ago
And the record's clear today
'Cause he washed my sins away
And the old account was settled long ago
Long ago
