The Old Account - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

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 (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 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 (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

'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 (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

'Cause He washed my sins away

And the old account was settled long ago

Long ago
