One morning, sometime in December 2025, a few weeks before my wife died, these words came to my mind – well, it took 1 1/2 hours to get them all. I sang them to her, but she was mostly non-responsive by then. Anyway, here you go to do with them as you please.

If the Savior stood beside me, Would I recognize His face?
Would I feel His loving kindness and then come to His embrace?
Would I thank Him for His sacrifice and thank Him for His grace?
if I could see the Savior standing nigh watching over me.

My name is Danny Turnblom. I have really enjoyed you music over the years and, with many other musicians, I’m grateful for your selflessly sharing it with the world. I currently direct a small men’s choir each Sunday at the Utah State Prison, and we’re having a wonderful experience together. We have 12 copies of “If the Savior Stood Beside Me,” with optional men’s harmonies added by James Loynes. I would like to acquire 8 more copies of it, but I don’t see it on your website. Is there another source for this version? If not, could I receive permission to photocopy for what we need?

I was teaching ukulele at the PCC in Hawaii as a missionary.

I am over 70 years old. Waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep is distressing. About two weeks ago, this song’s tune came into my mind as I laid there in the dark. I searched for and found the words and correct tune. Now I’m spending my free time memorizing the lyrics and the music. I still have 2 jobs! But the peace and comfort I receive as I listen to this song have made my soul be joyful in my tribulations. I am so grateful for the creative talent God has blessed you with to let me know he is near me and loves me.

Today I couldn’t go to church due to some health problems and that always makes me extremely sad and hopeless… so when that happens to me, I watch Music and the Spoken Word. And as I listened to the Tabernacle Choir performing this song, it touched my heart and soul in such a way that I felt the spirit so deeply imparting so much joy and peace to me. The beautiful lyrics take you into the wonderful experience of imagining and feeling close to the presence of the Savior. Thank you infinite for sharing your inspired music.
