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) |
