The Old Account - Mono Version - Hymns by J. Cash

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) 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

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) 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
Long ago
