VS1 |
There was a time on earth, when in the book of Heaven, |
An old account was standing, for sins yet unforgiven. |
My name was at the top, and many things below, |
I went unto the Keeper, and settled long ago. |
CH1 |
Long ago, long ago, yes the old account was settled long ago. |
And the records cleared today, for He washed my sins away, |
When the old account was settled long ago. |
V2 |
The old account was large and growing every 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 settled long ago. |
CH2 |
Long ago, long ago, yes the old account was settled long ago. |
And the records cleared today, for He washed my sins away, |
When the old account was settled long ago. |
VS3 |
Oh sinner, seek the Lord, repent of all your sin, |
For thus He hath commanded, if you would enter in; |
And then if you should live, a hundred years below, |
Up there you'll not regret it, you settled long ago. |
CH3 |
Long ago, long ago, yes the old account was settled long ago. |
And the records cleared today, for He washed my sins away, |
When the old account was settled long ago. |
