There Was a Time, I Know (The Old Account Was Settled)

Author: F. M. Graham Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #406 (2011) Meter: 12.13.12.13 with refrain First Line: There was a time, I know Refrain First Line: Long ago, long ago Lyrics: 1 There was a time, I know, When in the book of heaven, An old account was standing For sins yet unforgiven; My name was at the top And many things below, I went unto the Keeper, And settled long ago. Refrain: Long ago, long ago, Yes, the old account was settled long ago; And the record’s clear today, For He washed my sins away, When the old account was settled long ago. 2 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, And settled long ago. [Refrain] 3 When at the judgment bar I stand before my King, And He the book will open, He cannot find a thing; Then will my heart be glad, While tears of joy will flow, Because I had it settled, And settled long ago. [Refrain] 4 O sinner, seek the Lord, Repent of all your sin; For thus He has commanded, If you would enter in; And then if you should live A hundred years below, E'en here you’ll not regret it, You settled long ago. [Refrain] Topics: The Christian Life Salvation; Testimony Scripture: Isaiah 1:18 Languages: English Tune Title: THE OLD ACCOUNT

Author: F. M. Graham Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #276 (1977) First Line: There was a time I know Refrain First Line: Long ago, Long ago Lyrics: 1 There was a time, I know, When in the book of heav'n, An old account was standing, For sins yet unforgiv'n; My name was at the top, And many things below, But I went to the keeper, And settled long ago. Refrain: Long ago, Long ago, Yes, the old account was settled long ago, And the record’s clear today, For He washed my sins away, When the old account was settled long ago. 2 The old account was large, And larger ev'ry 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, And settled long ago. [Refrain] 3 When at the judgment bar, I stand before my King, And He the book will open, And cannot find a thing; Then will my heart be glad, While tears of joy will flow, Because I had it settled, And settled long ago. [Refrain] 4 When in that happy home, My Saviour's home above, I'll sing redemption's story, And praise Him for His love; I'll not forget that book, With pages white as snow, Because I came and settled, And settled long ago. [Refrain] 5 O sinner seek the Lord, Repent of all your sin, For thus He has commanded, If you would enter in; And then if you should live, A hundred years below, Up there you’ll not regret it And settled long ago.
