  • "Jesus said...Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God" (Mark 10:14)
    The song "If The Savior Stood Beside Me" was composed by Sally DeFord and performed by James Loynes. It can be found and downloaded from www.defordmusic.com or jamesloynes.com.
    This is a quote from the composer's website: "" If The Savior Stood Beside Me" is a song I wrote for my daughter Holly when she turned eight years old. I wrote a song for each of my children, and this one was hers. Holly was such a good example! She was always so kind and loved others so much, it seemed as though she knew Jesus was always close beside her, taking care of her and loving her. My young friends, if you will live every day of your life as though you could see the Savior standing right beside you, you will be happy, and you will be ready to live with Him again some day. He loves you and will always--always!--watch over you."
    The artwork in this video is by Greg Olsen, Del Parsons, and Scott Summer.

    I'm not LDS - Catholic, to be exact - but I love your hymns. I love how music is uniting Christians the world over! Thank you, God, our Divine Musician, for the gift of music!

    This song is one of my favorites bcuz it applies to everyones' lives. We all, wether LDS or not, need to remember that the Lord is ALWAYS watching us and will judge us on the choices we make. If you find you're in a difficult situation, ask yourself this, "What would the Savior do"? or "Would I do this if the Savior were standing beside me"?

      Sugar Duck I am LDS too. This is a beautiful thought. Just think of it, if you were standing next to the Savior, what would you say to him and what do you think you'd talk about. You have 5 minutes. Go!

      moniquecka I'm SO grateful that your life was changed by your return to the Church. I took both it and my beloved husband for granted for many years as I struggled to make it through adversity and wrestled with the causes and effects of living with mental illness without seeking or accepting help or guidance or being faithful and loving. There are SO many voices in this world that it's easy to allow ourselves to hear and, in so doing, become lost. I'm grateful that I have been found through Christ's amazing grace.

      Welcome back, Moniquecka. You are so, so loved. Now go share that love with everyone you meet. When we follow the Savior, we can help work His miracles around us, and help make the world a better place. I have a feeling you'll do just that. So happy for you! Thank you for commenting here. : )

      Right on Patricia. What a blessing it is that u have a great opportunity to take the missionary discussions. Every time they come, can you feel the spirit, light, and truth they bring to you're home and you're life. I have them over all the time to bask in their light, and faith and hope. I hope you feel the peaceful kind loving spirit inviting you to commit you're life to Christ and covenant with him in the pure waters of baptism. God bless you

    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?
    If the Savior stood beside me, would I often kneel to pray?
    Would I listen to the Spirit’s voice, and hasten to obey?
    Would I count my many blessings? Would I praise Him gratefully
    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.
