The Old Account Was Settled Long Ago Cifras

[Verse 1]
C
There was a time on earth,
C
When in the book of heaven,
F                   C
An old account was standing
    G
For sins yet unforgiven;
C
My name was at the top
C
And many things below,
      F              C
But I went unto the Keeper,
     G            C
And I settled it long ago.
 
[Verse 2]
C
The old account was large,
C
And growing every day,
F                C
For I was always sinning,
    G
And never tried to pay;
C
But when I looked ahead
C
And saw such pain and woe,
       F                 C
Then I said that I would settle,
        G        C
And I settled it long ago.
 
[Chorus]
      G                       C
Long ago (on my knees), long ago, (I settled it all)
C                                      G
Yes, the old account was settled long ago;
C
And the record’s clear today,
F                      C
For He washed my sins away,
C                          G           C
When the old account was settled long ago.
 
[Verse 3]
C
At the judgment bar
C
I stand before my King,
F                    C
And He the book will open,
    G
He cannot find a thing;
C
Then will my heart be glad,
C
While tears of joy will flow,
F                 C
Because I had it settled,
G                 C
And I settled it long ago.
 
[Verse 4]
C
When in that happy home,
C
My Savior’s home above,
F                      C
I’ll sing redemption’s story,
     G
And praise Him for His love;
C
I’ll not forget that book,
C
With pages white as snow,
F                   C
Because I came and settled,
G              C
And I settled long ago.
 
[Chorus]
      G                       C
Long ago (on my knees), long ago, (I settled it all)
C                                      G
Yes, the old account was settled long ago;
C
And the record’s clear today,
F                      C
For He washed my sins away,
C                          G           C
When the old account was settled long ago.
 
[Verse 5]
C
O sinner, seek the Lord,
C
Repent of all your sin;
F                C
For thus He had commanded,
   G
If you would enter in;
C
And then if you should live
C
A hundred years below,
F               C
Up there you’ll not regret it,
G                     C
Cause You settled it long ago
 
[Chorus]
      G                       C
Long ago (on my knees), long ago, (I settled it all)
C                                      G
Yes, the old account was settled long ago;
C
And the record’s clear today,
F                      C
For He washed my sins away,
C                          G           C
When the old account was settled long ago.
C
Let the Lord come in today,
F                       C
He will wash your sins away,
C                        G                C
Let your old account be settled 'fore you go!
