The Old Account
words: F.M. Graham

There was a time on earth,
When in the book of Heav'n
And 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.
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,
I settled long ago.
When in that happy Home,
My Savior'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 it long ago.
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
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.
