If the Savior Stood Beside Me

If the savior stood beside me

Would I do the things I do?

Would I think of his commandments and try harder to be true?

Would I follow his example?

Would I live more righteously if I could see the savior standing nigh

Watching over me?

If the savior stood beside me

Would I say the things I say?

Would my words be true and kind if he were never far away?

Would I try to share the gospel?

Would I speak more reverently if I could see the savior standing nigh

Watching over me?

If the savior stood beside me, would my thoughts be clean and pure?

Would his presence give me strength and hope and courage to endure?

Would his counsel guide my actions?

Would I choose more worthily if I could see the savior standing nigh

Watching over me?

He is always near me, though I do not see him there

And because he loves me dearly

I am in his watchful care

So I'll be the kind of person that I know I'd like to be

If I could see the savior standing nigh watching over me

So I'll be the kind of person that I know I'd like to be

If I could see the Savior standing nigh watching over me
