The journey from darkness into light
Once a long time ago everything was right
YAWAY filled me with love and hope and light
But I don't know how I lost my way
And couldn't tell the darkness from the day
At first I didn't see or care
I was in darkness not even aware
Causing problems gave me a thrill
Looking back now it gives me a chill
I don't really know how it began
I was petty and thought I knew more then I really understand
But the years flew by and the time came
From my drought out came the rain
I tried to stop it in every way
The rain made me want to run away
But the rain instead said, follow me
I ignored the rain... I didn't see
I didn't know I was drying out
Slowly dying of my own drought
When the rain stopped I felt okay
But it wasn't long till another rainy day
I ran and hid
But find me it did
Soon enough it left but not soon enough for me
I felt like I had been set free
For awhile I was on the run
And of course I had my fun
Everyone does for a session
I was just there without rhyme or reason
Then one day I started to fear
I knew my time's ending soon was near
There is no more hope for me, I thought
I was bitter and distraught
Nobody cared or help me turn
Wherever I would go I got burned
"Go away," is what they'd tell me
Bound me up and not set me free
Then once day in the park
I heard a gentle voice in the dark
"It isn't to late… just follow me
"Go back to ABBA to be set free"
I wanted so badly to be in control
But then my life began to rock and roll
The more I would get the more I would lose
I was singing great songs till I sang the blues
"All you need to do to get back in control
"Is to give it up to YAWAY and you'll reach your goal"
But does He love me still like He did once long ago
The voice answered in a whisper, "He does you know"
1"ABBA," I cried with a loud wail
"I'M NOT IN CONTROL… I'M WEAK AND FRAIL
"I WONDERED AWAY AND STARTED A MESS
"HOW MUCH DAMMAGE I DID I CAN ONLY GUESS
"I KNOW THAT I DO NOT DESERVE YOUR GRACE, YOUR MERCY, YOUR LOVE
"BUT IF YOU CAN SHARE ME SOME SHINE YOUR LIGHT FROM ABOVE
"LET ME BACK HOME BECAUSE I KNOW I NEED YOU SO
"I'LL MAKE AMENDS FOR ALL I DID AND LET MY VICTIMS GO"
The sky opened wide and YAWAY stretched forth His hand
He said, "My child I understand
"I heard in your heart the love you have for me
"And how you long to be set free"
I waited for the verdict to fall
But for some time He said nothing at all
Then He quietly said, "I must be number one
"I don't want to steal your splendor or spoil your fun
"But I created you and I know how you work
"I know what makes you happy and what makes you go berserk
"I know that deep inside of you there still is light and rain
"Now welcome back my child and I will take away this pain"
Things changed more then I can say
The world opened up to me on that day
And I thank YAWAY for all His love
And the one that led me to Him up above
