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 (down on my knees) long ago (I settled it all) |
| Yes the old account was settled long ago (hallelujah) |
| And the record’s clear today because he washed my sins away |
| And the old account was settled long ago |
| Well the old account was large and growing every day |
| And I was always sinning 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 (down on my knees) |
| Now sinner seek the Lord repent of all your sins |
| Because 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 (down on my knees) |
