Johnny Cash - Old Account Was Settled Long Ago lyrics

rate me

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
