If the Savior stood beside me
Would I wear the clothes I wear?
Would I tell those secrets that aren't mine to share?
Would I be the friend or neighbor
The Lord would have me be?
If I could see the Savior standing nigh
Watching over me?
If the Savior stood beside me
Would I date before sixteen?
Would I listen to his commandments
So I could someday be a queen?
Would I read what others are reading?
Could I turn off the T.V.?
If I could see the Savior standing nigh
Watching over me?
If the Savior stood beside me
Would I be careful of my thoughts?
Would I put others down just to be in the popular lot?
Would I be less judgmental
Of others and of me?
If I could see the Savior standing nigh
Watching over me?
If the Savior stood beside me
How would I spend free time?
Would he be proud of my treatment to that
family of mine?
Would I try to do more service?
Would I dance more modestly?
If I could see the Savior standing nigh
Watching over me?
If the Savior stood beside me
What kind of person would I reflect?
Could he look into my eyes and see that humble respect?
Would he see his little sister?
Would he hug me passionately?
For I know the Savior's standing nigh
Watching over me.
