An Old Account Settled

Lyrics
There was a time on earth
When in the book of heav'n
An old account was standing
For sins yet unforgiv'n
My name was at the top,
And many things below,
I went unto the keeper,
And settled long ago.
The old account was large,
And growing ev'ry 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.
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.
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.
Chorus:
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 in the book of heav'n
An old account was standing
For sins yet unforgiv'n
My name was at the top,
And many things below,
I went unto the keeper,
And settled long ago.
The old account was large,
And growing ev'ry 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.
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.
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.
Chorus:
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.
