Tom: G

G   C   Am   D

[Verse 1]
       G               C                G               D7
If the Saviour stood beside me, would I do the things I do?
        G               C                 Am7          G7     (G)
Would I think of His commandments and try harder to be true?
        C      D7     G             Am7                Em            
Would I follow His example? Would I live more righteously,
   C       G               D        C     Am7      D    G
If I could see the Saviour standing nigh, watching over me?

[Verse 2]
       G               C                G                D7
If the Saviour stood beside me, would I say the things I say?
         G                 C               Am7         G7    (G)
Would my words be true and kind if He were never far away?
        C       D7       G               Am7                Em
Would I try to share the gospel? Would I speak more reverently
   C       G               D        C     Am7      D    G 
If I could see the Saviour standing nigh, watching over me?

[Verse 3]
G            C                 G              D7
He is always near me, though I do not see Him there
       G                 C            Am7             G7     (G)           
And be-cause He loves me dearly, I am in His watchful care
        C      D7      G             Am7              Em
So I'll be the kind of person that I know I'd like to be
   C       G               D        C     Am7   G   C D   G   C   G
If I could see the Saviour standing nigh, watch-ing o-ver me.
