If the Savior Stood Beside Me

Children songs are so beautifully simple and one that was included in the children's program for last year is no exception. If the Savior Stood Beside Me, with words and music by Sally DeFord, asks the uncomplicated questions that you might feel if you were in the Savior's presence. I love the memorable message of this piece and hope that you will enjoy it too.
"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."

Go here to hear this piece or other inspiring music about our faith.
