The song Old Account Was Settled Long Ago is performed by Johnny Cash in the album named At San Quentin (Legacy Edition) in the year 2006 .
Well, it was a time on earth
When in the books of heaven
An old account was standing
For sins yet unforgiven
My name was at the top
And many things below
But I went unto the keeper
And settled it long ago
Long ago, long ago
(Down on my knees I settled it all)
Yes, the old account was settled long ago
(Hallelujah)
And the record's clear today
'Cause He washed my sins away
And the old account was settled long ago
Well, the old account was large
And growin' every day
And I was always sinnin'
And I never tried to pray
But when I looked ahead
And saw such pain and woe
Well, I went unto the keeper
And settled it long ago
Long ago, long ago
(Down on my knees I settled it all)
Yes, the old account was settled long ago
(Hallelujah)
And the record's clear today
'Cause He washed my sins away
And the old account was settled long ago
Now sinner seek the Lord
Repent of all your sins
'Cause this He has commanded
If you would enter in
And then if you should live
A hundred years below
Well, you know you got it settled
'Cause you settled it long ago
Long ago, long ago
(Down on my knees I settled it all)
Yes, the old account was settled long ago
(Hallelujah)
And the record's clear today
'Cause He washed my sins away
And the old account was settled long ago
Long ago
