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 I comfort those in need?
Would I try to show the Savior's love
In every word and deed?
Would I give to those who hunger?
Would I serve more willingly
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
