What a great song to share with the kids, all about being thoughtful and conscious of what choices and words we use. This If the Savior Stood Beside Me flip chart focuses on pictures of children and the Savior to highlight that relationship of the Savior standing beside them in all the things they do.
If the Savior Stood Beside Me Flip Chart
For the LDS Flip Chart for If the Savior Stood Beside Me you’ll have 6 pages – 2 pages for each of the 3 verses. You can print just the verses you will be teaching in Primary.
Personally, I have decided to only teach the 1st and 3rd verse of If the Savior Stood Beside Me, as it feels like a tongue twister to me trying to keep the do’s and the say’s straight with the verse. It just felt easier over all to focus the 1st verse and the closing verse, which is my favorite!
If the Savior Stood Beside Me Lyrics
This song is written by Sally DeFord and was published in the Friend magazine. It is considered pre-approved to teach in Primary. You can find the free If the Savior Stood Beside Me sheet music here.
Verse 1:
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?
Verse 2:
If the Savior stood beside me, would I say the things I say?
Would my words be true and kind If He was never far away?
Would I try to share the gospel? Would I speak more rev’rently?
If I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me?
Verse 3:
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.
