In land of pyramids and sand
Beloved lies ‘neath surgeons hand
Surrendered to the Grace above
While all around him wait with love
Far away I sit and pray
My heart connected on this day
To my love as he lies sleeping
Machines and tubes keep his heart beating
I call upon all heaven's glory
Healing angels Help our story
Let us be one in heart my love
Bathed by oceans of God's love
As we surrender to God's Grace
A smile returns upon my face
I know it with the deepest faith
That all is well, my love is safe
New supports within his heart
Give my love a brand new start
Bringing strength, with that in me
A sense of great humility
In gratitude we now can dance
And celebrate a brand new chance
To live, to love, at last together
The end to all this stormy weather
The sun is out and my heart smiles
And I set off across the miles
To join my love, my heart, my bliss
As finally our lips will kiss
Step by step, gently, slowly
With precious life, sacred, holy
We walk together hand in hand
In lands of pyramids and sand
One day we will be old and grey
My eyes will look at you and say
Thank you for your love, your life
The joy you brought me as your wife
And now that we are old and grey
You turn to look at me and say
My sweet, my love, and then you pause
And in my heart I know because
We speak in looks, in breaths and sighs
From the heart and through the eyes
Now we are both old we smile
And we still hold hands a while
We think upon the early years
Frought with difficulties and tears
The pains of life, the loss, the strife
The years apart, the surgeon's knife
But on the whole as we look back
Those days were short for after that
Our life became unending joy
You and me, your son, our boy
Yes overall those years were short
For after that, to us, life brought
Unending sunshine, days of bliss
Your touch, your glance, beloved's kiss
We know each other now so well
It only takes a look to tell
Exactly what the other needs
And gladly still the heart proceeds
To give, to love, to bless, to feel
To know inside that all that's real
Is peace and beauty grace and love
And thanks from us to God above
