Yes, it matters, it's 15% more, and 15% less page turns, and less chances of widows and orphans, less chances of breaks in the middle of verses, more chances for illustrations to fit in the current page and not be moved to the next one leaving a huge blank space.

In addition, reducing the side margins means longer lines, less chances of awful line breaks (and again more text per page and less page turns), more chances for verses fitting in a single line and not be broken...

And of course, it should be configurable.

Has anyone noticed that if you set a really small font size you get huge margins, by the way?
