Well it w as a time on earth when in the books of he aven
An ol d account was sta nding for si ns yet unfo rgiven
My na me was at the top and many things be low
But I wen t unto the kee per and set tled it long ag o
Long ag o (down on my knees) long ag o (I settled it all)
Yes the old account was settled long ag o (hallelujah)
And the rec ord's clear today cause he was hed my sins aw ay
And the old account was sett led long ag o
Well the ol d account was large and growin' every da y
And I was always sin nin' and I ne ver tried to pra y
But wh en I looked ahead and saw such pain and wo e
Well I we nt unto the kee per and set tled it long ag o
Long ago (down on my knees)
Long ag o (down on my knees) long ag o (I settled it all)
Yes the old account was settled long ag o (hallelujah)
And the rec ord's clear today cause he was hed my sins aw ay
And the old account was sett led long ag o
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 (down on my knees)
Long ag o (down on my knees) long ag o (I settled it all)
Yes the old account was settled long ag o (hallelujah)
And the rec ord's clear today cause he was hed my sins aw ay
And the old account was sett led long ag o
