This song is so special to me and thank every member or the choir for singing this song. It brings tears to my eyes every time that I listen to it because if you just listen to the words you find that you really do know that Christ is there and that he is always there watching over you! I am Mormon and I have grown up with this song and it truly does mean so much to me!
About 60-70 children from my stake sang If The Savior Stood Beside Me yesterday for our stake conference, we were getting a new stake presidency. The children did so well, and one verse was even in Spanish
This beautiful song has always brought me comfort, even in my darkest times it has always made me feel loved. I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression for so long and it’s hard sometimes to believe Jesus is even there when I’m out here struggling mentally and feeling like crap. But anyways I’ll always love Jesus Christ and choose to follow in his footsteps.
THANK YOU Salley DeFord and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for your most sincere and generous efforts to uplift, replenish and enrich the souls of all who listen to your choral renditions. Father Patrick Elis (Roman Catholic Priest). Please know that I am a much better person and priest because of your efforts.
I love this song it really show how we can improve ourselves because the Savior is always by us and we will be able to over come our weaknesses through him
I love the message in this song because it makes me want to try harder all the time to keep the comandments and try to do the things I know that I should. It is very up lifting. I hope the Savior will stand beside one day and be proud of the things I have done.
I am a member, I would like to say that I am not the most perfect person, but I try. I like to keep my feelings and emotions to myself. I just don’t understand why this song as made such a difference in my life today I don’t know why today this song impacted me so much, and made me reflect on my self. But I encourage you to listen to the words, and reflect on your actions that you do, as I have.
Yaa it’s Jesus’ power that helps us have power over our flesh’s weaknesses. This song helps me choose the right. We can’t force His power. But we can invite it. And He wants for us to do what we need to do to have Him with us. Sometimes it’s doing something good that we forgot. Slmetimes it’s praying. Sometimes it’s just being reminded about Him.
Solo il coro è straordinario di questi cari; il resto: la dottrina delle alleanze, il misticismo, le continue "rivelazioni" e quant'altro è da scartare e dimenticare !!! Abbandonate questa falsa religione e realizzate che il Signore Gesù ha compiuto tutto, non c'è da aggiungere null'altro!!! Gloria a Dio !!!
Não ha coisa mais doce que está fica ouvino os hinos do senhor Jesus Cristo e todos os programas que vem da igreja de jesus Cristo dos Santos dos últimos dias
I have to say that I mentioned this song during a primary lesson and told the children to listen to it, as it's such a beautiful song that directly tied into our lesson. A couples weeks later it was performed by the MoTab during General Conference and all the kids couldn't to tell me in class. :)
How I pray 🙏 for truth….nothing that would hurt or offend us, but comfort or lift us up, or if correction is necessary, bring us to a surprising new level of understanding and discipline to happiness and greater freedom and personal victory over our own selves. We can turn weaknesses into strengths, or create better habits through goal setting and continued effort in the right directions….and there are often many, many, many right directions!!
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?
2. 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 rev’rently if I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me?
3. 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?
4. Watching over me, 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. I will be the kind of person that I know I’d like to be if I could see the Savior standing nigh watching over me.

Im no longer a memeber, but i still Have faith in God, sometimes when i use to preach the Gospel to people, i use to go on the very last parables about how we must Repent and to not loose salvation, sometime reading the scriptures in mathew chapters 18 vs 6 i read that and i felt convicted for pehaps making someone fall cause of Sharing the gospel in a tick tock video i made. So i prayed to the Lord today and asked for forgiveness if i ever made someone fall or hurt themselves. If ever, i told him i would be more careful and that if i dont deserve a chance, i will take my cross up in the end times and be crucified for being a Christian. Then after that prayer, this song came into my head, and in the last chorus i got the Lords message, i feel forgivened now after seeing this, i thank the Lord for giving me a new heart agein and another chance.

I Love this song! I just wish that the sheet music was available for purchase. It is a beautiful arrangement. The words are so powerful, gives me a chance to reflect. Thanks! My Mom passed away April '12 & it helps me remember how I need to be to be with her again!

Yes, I would try harder by not listening to men or women teach me the wrong 😑 things in whatever way they do, or letting them influence me adversely in any way, shape or form. I refuse to knowingly listen to man over God. May God give me the wisdom to know the difference between man’s reasoning (which may be faulty) and God’s knowledge and wisdom.
Does ANYONE know what page or hymn number this is? I wanted to play this song for FHE so we could sing along but I can't find it in the main hymn book or the children's song book. This is my favorite hymn and I'd like to know if it's even in these books!
I remember the first time I heard this song, I could not stop crying. It touches my soul so deeply.
Thank you for sharing!
same.
I love scrolling through comments like these and read testimonies of people.
😊😊😊😊😊
Remembering Him at all times helps me to make the right choices. Beautiful song!
This song helps me to always try to do the right things. Oh! How i love it !
I just litstened to that like on loop for a while. That was amazing. I want to feel as close to the Savior as I can
this warms my heart during times of trouble

Primary songs are some of the most thought provoking and spiritual

What if the Savior stood beside me? That is literally the dream. That’s the peak of living right there.
Listening to primary children sing this song brings me to tears. If only I could be as innocent as they are once again...
I love the message in this song because it makes me want to try harder all the time to keep the comandments and try to do the things I know that I should. It is very up lifting. I hope the Savior will stand beside one day and be proud of the things I have done.

LINDO! VOCÊS ESTÃO OFERECENDO SACRIFÍCIO DE LOUVOR, QUE O SENHOR ESTEJA SEMPRE SENDO ENGRANDECIDO POR MEIO DE VOCÊS.
I definitely need to try harder to remember what the Lord would want me to do. Maybe I can try to think of this song more often.
