Lyrics
IT DOESN?T MATTER WHAT?S HAPPENED IN THE PAST © Eva fry 2005
Chorus
It doesn?t matter what?s happened in the past
It matters what you do with your life
It doesn?t matter what?s happened so far
You have control of your life
Life isn?t easy, it?s often unfair
Things happen which are not right
You have the choice to let it destroy
Or choose a much better life
If we?re angry at someone and filled with hate
They have control of our life
If we want to have freedom we must forgive
So we can get on with our life
If we escape all our problems with alcohol and drugs
We?ve lost control of our life
To get control back, give our problems to God
He?ll help us handle our life
Life is for experience to help us learn
The lessons we need for success
Even the bad we can turn around
To reach our potential in life
