C
Well it was a time on earth when in the books of heaven
F C D7 G7
An old account was standing for sins yet unforgiven
C C7
My name was at the top and many things below
F C G7 C
But I went unto the keeper and settled it long ago
G7 C
Long ago (down on my knees) long ago (I settled it all)
G7
Yes the old account was settled long ago (hallelujah)
C F C
And the record's clear today cause he washed my sins away
G7 C
And the old account was settled long ago
Well the old account was large and growing every day
F C D7 G7
And I was always sinning and I never tried to pray
C C7
But when I looked ahead and saw such pain and woe
F C G7 C
Well I went unto the keeper and settled it long ago
Repeat #2
Now sinner seek the Lord repent of all your sins
F D7 G7
Cause this he has commanded if you would enter in
C C7
And then if you should live a hundred years below
F C G7 C
Well you know you got it settled cause you settled it long ago
Repeat #2
