Old Account

Johnny Cash

Transposer:

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 (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 (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

Cette chanson évoque l'idée d'un compte ancien où sont consignés tous nos péchés, un fardeau qui pèse sur notre conscience. Le protagoniste raconte comment, conscient de ses erreurs, il a décidé de se tourner vers Dieu pour obtenir le pardon, et il témoigne de la libération qu'il a ressentie après avoir réglé ses dettes spirituelles. Avec foi et humilité, il souligne l’importance de se repentir et de chercher le Seigneur pour vivre en paix. Dans ce contexte, on comprend que chacun peut retrouver la clarté et la sérénité en plaçant sa confiance en Dieu, même après une vie de péchés. C'est un appel à la rédemption qui résonne à travers les âges.
