Ms. Past

The past.  History.  Yesterday.  

Often full of self-recrimination, fear, feelings of failure, loss, and the 'woulda-coulda-shouldas', that horrible trio that keeps you spinning wildly in an emotional state from which it appears there's no escape.

Yet, the Apostle Paul made a statement I find both telling and liberating - "Forgetting those things that are behind, I press..."  ...forward...

I'm moving forward.  I'm leaving that lady... Ms. Past.  We're through. It's over.  I won't, can't, refuse to, live in yesterday.   It's a new day.  

And hopefully enjoy the lyrics to a song perhaps you've never heard... written by Stormie Omartian, and sung by Michael Omartian...  another obscure, fun, thought-provoking song from my memories...

Ms. Past... Let her GO! 
MS PAST
Lyrics by Stormie Omartian
Music by Michael Omartian

Don't look, don't look back just let her go,
Lately, all she's done is lay you low.
Don't look, don't look back just let her go,
Lately, all she's done is lay you low.

Ms. Past, she's such a wicked lady,
Ms. Past, she's always there a waiting,
She's the Devil's favorite tool,
She'll play you like a fool,
She'll try until she rules.

Don't look, don't look back just let her go,
Lately, all she's done is lay you low.
Don't look, don't look back just let her go,
Lately, all she's done is lay you low.

Ms. Past, she'll always try to feed you,
Ms. Past, she'll say He never freed you.
But don't fall for her disguise,
And look back in her eyes,
She wants you paralyzed, by all she knows.

Don't look, don't look back just let her go,
Lately, all she's done is lay you low.
Don't look, don't look back just let her go,
Lately, all she's done is lay you low.

              Don't look, don't look back just let her go,
Lately, all she's done is lay you low.
Don't look, don't look back just let her go,
Lately, all she's done is lay you low.
etc. etc. etc....
