“If the Savior Stood Beside Me,” Friend, Mar. 2013, 7 I Can Play It! If the Savior Stood Beside Me (Simplified) Words and music by Sally DeFord Thoughtfully 90–100 Imagemusic, 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 rev’rently 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. © 1991 by Sally DeFord. Arr. © 2012 by Intellectual Reserve, Inc.
