[Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash - The Old Account Was Settled Long Ago lyrics]

Well, there was a time on earth
When in the books of heaven
That an old account was standing
For sins yet unforgiven
My name was at the top
There were many things below
But I went unto the keeper and
I settled it long ago

Long ago, on my knees, yes long ago
(I settled it all)
I said the old account was settled long ago
And my record's clear today
He washed my sins away
And the old account was settled long ago

Well the old account was
Large and growing everyday
I was always sinning and I
Never tried to pray
But when I looked ahead and


Saw such pain and woe
Well I thought I'd better get it settled
So I settled it long ago
Long ago, yes long ago (I settled it all)
I said the old account was settled long ago
And my record's clear today
He done washed my sins away
And the old account was settled long ago

Well, sinner seek the Lord
And repent of all your sins
He has commanded if we're gonna make it in
And if you should live
One hundred years below
You gonna know you got it settled
If you settled it long ago

Long ago, on my knees, yes long ago
(I settled it all)
I said the old account was settled long ago
And the old account was settled long ago
