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. The old account was large, And grew larger every day, For I was always sinning, And never tried to pay; But when I looked ahead And saw such grief and woe, I said that I would settle, And settled long ago. Long ago Down on my knees Long ago I settled it all 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 settled long ago. When at the judgment bar I stand before my King, And He the book, He’s gonna open, He won’t find a thing; Then will my heart be glad, While tears of joy will flow, Because I had it settled, Settled long ago. Long ago Down on my knees Long ago I settled it all 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 settled long ago. 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, And the old account was settled long ago.
