Well it was a time on earth When in the books of Heaven An old account was standing For sins yet unforgivin' My name was at the top And many things below But I went unto the keeper And settled it long ago Long 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 'Cause he washed my sins away And the old account was settled long ago Well the old account was large And growin' every day And I was always sinnin' And I never tried to pray But when I looked ahead And saw such pain and woe Well I went unto the keeper And settled it long ago Long ago (Down on my knees) Long ago
