<poem>
If the Savior stood beside me, would I do the things I do?
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 think of His commandments and try harder to be true?
Line 45: Line 39:
And because He loves me dearly, I am in His watchful care
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
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.
If I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over 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.
