From Tricia

Our primary program was today. I'd not heard this song before but I just love it. Enough obviously that I wanted to share. Hope it touches you like it did me!
Lyrics:

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.

Isn't that a wonderful song? Makes me cry every time. Not that it's hard to make me cry. It's a Sally Deford song. My kids love it too.

You hadn't heard that one before?? Don't you live in Sally Deford's stake? It is a fantastic song, but Sister Deford hasn't let me down yet.

We love this song! Mark says maybe you need a primary calling. They do have the best songs ever!
