A Higher Plan

To suffer more than my fair share
Seems so harsh when compared
To others who get off so easily
But through it all I keep my faith
And to me it's not a waste
If there's a higher plan for me

I've completed all my tasks
And I've a question I need to ask
Is there a place in heaven meant for me
In my prayers please give a sign
Am I a part of your design
Is there a higher plan for me

For I have worshipped you
Kissed the earth that was made by you
In the hope to enter heaven's gate
So tell me please have I passed the test
With open arms will I be blessed
As patiently I stand here and wait

It would be an honour walking at your side
To talk to you, to listen and confide
And give my soul to you wholeheartedly
But for now I would like to know
Of the place that I would go
If there's a higher plan for me

For I have worshipped you
Kissed the earth that was made by you
In the hope to enter heaven's gate
So tell me please have I passed the test
With open arms will I be blessed
As patiently I stand here and wait

A Higher Plan

Losing My Way

No-one hears me when I'm in need of help
And I'm here on the edge of despair
I don't know whether to go back or forwards
I've got to a stage I no longer care

I don't have a guide or book of rules
And I don't have a compass to show the way
It seems I'm going around in circles
I'm not lost just yet but I'm losing my way

Patience is a virtue of which I've run out
Frustration will be the end of me
So as I stumble on through the darkness
At least light my way so I can see

I don't have a guide or book of rules
And I don't have a compass to show the way
It seems I'm going around in circles
I'm not lost just yet but I'm losing my way

If I change the way that I've always been
I ask myself will it do any good
Then a bolt of lightning came from the sky
So I say message understood

I don't have a guide or book of rules
And I don't have a compass to show the way
It seems I'm going around in circles
I'm not lost just yet but I'm losing my way

If I change the way that I've always been
I ask myself will it do any good
Then a bolt of lightning came from the sky
So I say message understood

I don't have a guide or book of rules
And I don't have a compass to show the way
It seems I'm going around in circles
I'm not lost just yet but I'm losing my way

Medea

You were a princess in Colchis
Until Jason in the Argo sailed there
He wooed you away to a strange land
With promises for you he would care

But he chose to marry the king's daughter
And your marriage to him he destroyed
For a marriage to a strange foreign woman
A Greek man could make null and void

Look what you've done now Medea
But people they all understand
When Jason had chosen betrayal
You took revenge on your man

Look what you've done now Medea
There are bloodstains all over your hands
He will regret for the rest of his life
You have put paid to his plans

You made a crown and wedding robes
For Creusa on her wedding day
But you covered them all in poison
And in agony she passed away

You then moved on to your children
After killing his soon to be bride
With a sword in hand you murdered them both
And you committed filicide

Look what you've done now Medea
But people they all understand
When Jason had chosen betrayal
You took revenge on your man

Look what you've done now Medea
There are bloodstains all over your hands
He will regret for the rest of his life
You have put paid to his plans
