The Statler Brothers – The Account Was Settled Long Ago lyrics

There was a time I know, when in the books of Heaven
An old account was standing, for sins yet unforgiven
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.

The old account was large, and larger everyday
For I was always sinnin', and I never tried to pray
But when I looked ahead and saw such pain and woe
I said that I would settle and settled 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.
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.
Long ago,
Long ago,
Yes, the old account was settled long ago
