There Was A Time On Earth, When In The Book Of Heaven
An Old Account Was Standing For Sins Yet Un Forgiven
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 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 Growing Every 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.
