We waste more time and rob more joy from ourselves by thinking about the past, than any other activity we do. This song is encouragement to get past the past, and move on.

(v.1)
Are there things from your past that still shame you today?
Well it’s nobody’s business what they are. Besides, Jesus casts them all away.
But you gotta get tough with those thoughts that turn your eyes to yesterday
‘Cause they will play you, and play you Until you take their toys away

(c.1)
GPIAMO Christ called you to a new life here
GPIAMO Yesterday has no right to interfere.


(v.2)
Maybe your childhood was a nightmare Maybe you were brought up in abuse
Maybe you don’t have a single fond memory Of anything from your youth.
But that’s the old you Jesus took to the grave and buried him once and for all.
It’s time to forget it, time to replace it With the new you answering God’s call

(v.2)
GPIAMO so your first birth didn’t take you far?
GPIAMO 'cause your new birth is who you really are.

(v.3)
You find ‘em at school, you find ‘em at work, in traffic, & maybe in your home
People thinking only of themselves, like the world is theirs alone
The frustration they leave in their wake can cause your ministry pain
But like everything else,
You just put it behind you & forget it and get moving with God again

(c.3)
GPIAMO God has made you that strong
GPIAMO you're strong enough to always carry on.
GPIAMO.
