| Lyrics: | (F.M. Graham)
Long ago (down on my knees)
Long ago (I setted 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.
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.
Long ago (down on my knees)
Long ago (I setted 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.
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.
Long ago (down on my knees)
Long ago (I setted 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.
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.
Long ago (down on my knees)
Long ago (I setted 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. |
