The Old Account Was Settled
F.M.G. F.M. Graham
Chorus…
Long ago, long ago, Yes, the old account was settled long ago;
And the record's clear today, for He washed my sins away,
When the old account was settles long ago.
There was a time on earth when in the book 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.
Chorus
The old account was large, and growing ev'ry 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. I settled long ago.
Chorus
When at the judgement bar I stand before my King,
And He the book will open, He cannot find a thing.
Then will my heart be glad, while tears of joy will flow
Because I had it settled, and settled long ago.
Chorus
When in that happy home, my Saviour'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.
Chorus
O sinner seek the lord; Repent of all your sin,
For thus He hath commanded, If you would enter in;
And then if you should live a hundred years below,
Up there you'll not regret it, you settled long ago.
