This may save you a little time

There was a time on Earth when in the books of Heaven
That an Old Account was standin' for sins yet unforgiven
My name was at the top there was many things below
But I went unto the keeper and I settled it long ago

Long ago,yes long ago I said the Old Account was settled long ago
And my 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' everyday
I was always sinnin' and I never tried to pray
But when I looked ahead and saw such pain and woe
Well I thoguht I'd better get it settled, so I settled it long ago

Long ago, long ago Yes the Old Account was settled long ago
And my record's clear today 'cause he washed my sins away
And The Old Account was settled long ago

Now sinner seek the Lord, and repent of all your sins
'Cause this He commanded if you should enter in
And then if you should live a hundred years below
Well you know you got it settled 'cause you settled it long ago

Long ago, long ago Yes the Old Account was settled long ago
And my record's clear today 'cause he washed my sins away
And The Old Account was settled long ago

actually the original song by F.M. Graham has 4 verses.....

1: There was a time on earth when in the book of heaven
an old account was standing with sins yet unforgiv'n
my name was at the top, with many things below
I went unto the keeper and settled long ago

Chorus
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, for he washed my sins away,
when the old account was settled long ago.

2: 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, and I settled long ago

chorus

3: When in that happy home, my saviors home above
I'll sing redemptions 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

chorus

4: O sinner, trust the Lord be cleansed of all your sin
for thus he hath provided for you to enter in
And then if you should live, an hundred years below
up there you'll not regret it, you settled long ago

chorus

Anyway, thought that would help you.

I have been a member of a small rural country church all my life. We usually run about 25 on Sunday Morning. for Sunday School and Church. We still use the old fashioned hymnals, and this has always been one of my favorite songs. We normally sing this hymn on a regular basis. I love the old time souhern gospel music and old time hymns. They are so much better than some of the new so called contempory songs. Thank God the Old Account Was Settled Long Ago. May God continue to bless you all!!!!!!

Hi Guest,

My goodness, there are times I would love nothing more than to go to a small rural country church and sing from an old fashioned hymnal. That is what worship is all about. You are definitely blessed

Thanks for sharing

God bless!
