My Lord is writing,
                     My Lord is writing,

                     My Lord is writing all the time....


                     And Pilate answered and said, “What I have written, I have written.”
                And even Rudyard Kipling’s Omar Kyam had some truth in it, even though
                it was written by an old, drunken infidel:


                     “The moving hand having writ moves on,
                     And all thy power and all thy wit
                     Can not erase a half a line of it.”


                     Young people, since you got up this morning you have been writing,
                and I wonder what your letter looks like. What does it look like?


                     There was a time on earth,
                     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.


                     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,
                     I settled long ago.


                     Long ago, long ago,
                     Yes, the old account was settled long ago;

                     And the record’s clear today,
