Verse1   There was a time on earth, when in the book of heaven,
             An old account was standing, For sins yet unforgivin,
             My name was at the top, And many things below,
             I went unto the keeper, And settled long ago.
Course

Verse 2  The old account was large, And growing everyday,
             For I was always sinning, and never tried to pray,
             But when I looked ahead, and saw such pain and woe,
             I said that I would settle, I settled long ago
Course

Verse3   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, 
            &nb sp;Because I had it settled, and settled long ago
Course

Verse4   When in that happy home, My saviours home above,
             Ill sing redemptions story, And praise him for his love,
             Ill not forget that book, with pages white as snow,
             Because I came and settled, And settled long ago
Course

Verse5   O sinner seek the Lord, Repent of all your sin,
             For thus he hath comanded, If you would enter in,
            &nb sp;And then if you should live, a hundred years below,
             Up there you'll not regret it, You settled long ago

Course   Long ago..........Long ago.......Yes the old account was
             settled long ago....and the records clear today...for he
             washed ;my sins away......when the old account was settled
             long ago!
