The Old Account Was Settled - Easy

VS1

  Ab
There was a time on earth, when in the book of Heaven,
  Db Ab Bb Eb
An old account was standing, for sins yet unforgiven.
  Ab
My name was at the top, and many things below,
  Db Ab Eb Ab
I went unto the Keeper, and settled long ago.

Chorus

  Eb Ab Eb
Long ago, long ago, yes the old account was settled long ago.
  Ab Db Ab
And the records cleared today, for He washed my sins away,
  Eb Ab
When the old account was settled long ago.

VS1

  Ab
Oh sinner, seek the Lord, repent of all your sin,
  Db Ab Bb Eb
For thus He hath commanded, if you would enter in;
  Ab
And then if you should live, a hundred years below,
  Db Ab Eb Ab
Up there you'll not regret it, you settled long ago.
