There was a time on earth
When in the books 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
Lon 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
For He washed my sins away
When the old account was settled long ago
When in that happy home
My Savior's home above
I'll sing redemption's story
And praise Him for His love
I'll not forget that book
With pages white as snow
Because I came and settled
And settled long ago
Lon 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
For He washed my sins away
When the old account was settled long ago
Yes the old account was settled long ago
When in the books 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
Lon 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
For He washed my sins away
When the old account was settled long ago
When in that happy home
My Savior's home above
I'll sing redemption's story
And praise Him for His love
I'll not forget that book
With pages white as snow
Because I came and settled
And settled long ago
Lon 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
For He washed my sins away
When the old account was settled long ago
Yes the old account was settled long ago
