Words by Sally DeFord
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 simple, spoken kindly day by day?
Would I praise His name in rev'rence? Would I always watch and pray
If I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching o'er my way?
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.
I Will Walk With Jesus
Words by Stephen P. Schank
1. Jesus walked in wisdom; Jesus grew in truth.
He showed love to God and man while in His youth.
Jesus wants to guide me. Jesus shows the way,
Calling me to come and walk with Him each day.
As I walk with Jesus to my home above,
He will bless me with His Spirit and fill me with His love,
Change my heart forever and help me clearly see.
I will walk with Jesus, and He will walk with me.
2. I can grow like Jesus. I will try each day—
Promising to walk His path and there to stay.
Standing by my Savior, safe within His care,
Step by step I’ll follow, and His love I’ll share.
As I walk with Jesus to my home above,
He will bless me with His Spirit and fill me with His love,
Change my heart forever and help me clearly see.
I will walk with Jesus, and He will walk with me.
3. I will trust in Jesus. I will hear His call.
He will never leave me, even when I fall.
Jesus gives me power, lifts and comforts me,
Helping me to live and grow eternally.
As I walk with Jesus to my home above,
He will bless me with His Spirit and fill me with His love,
Change my heart forever and help me clearly see.
I will walk with Jesus, and He will walk with me.
I Love to See the Temple
Words by Janice Kapp Perry
1. I love to see the temple.
I'm going there someday
To feel the Holy Spirit,
To listen and to pray.
For the temple is a house of God,
A place of love and beauty.
I'll prepare myself while I am young;
This is my sacred duty.
2. I love to see the temple.
I'll go inside someday
To make covenants with Heavenly Father;
I'll promise to obey.
For the temple is a holy place
Where we are sealed together.
As a child of God, I've learned this truth:
A family is forever.
Come, Thou Fount of Ev'ry Blessing
Words by Robert Robinson
1. Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.
2. Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I’m come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
3. O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
It Is Well With My Soul
Words by Horatio G. Spafford
1. When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
(Chorus)
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
2. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
(Chorus)
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
3. My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
(Chorus)
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
4. And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
(Chorus)
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
I Will Follow God's Plan for Me
Words by Vanja Y. Watkins
1. My life is a gift; my life has a plan.
My life has a purpose; in heav’n it began.
My choice was to come to this lovely home on earth
And seek for God’s light to direct me from birth.
(Chorus)
I will follow God’s plan for me,
Holding fast to his word and his love.
I will work, and I will pray;
I will always walk in his way.
Then I will be happy on earth
And in my home above.
2. In faith I will grow; in faith I will learn
To follow the Savior, to Him I will turn.
When I make mistakes, and in weakness I do sin,
I'll humbly repent, and become clean again.
I will follow God’s plan for me,
Holding fast to his word and his love.
I will work, and I will pray;
I will always walk in his way.
Then I will be happy on earth
And in my home above.
3. As Jesus has shown, I'll cov'nant with God
to keep His commandments, and hold to the rod.
I need to be baptized, receive the Holy Ghost,
And as I obey Him, He'll always stay close.
I will follow God’s plan for me,
Holding fast to his word and his love.
I will work, and I will pray;
I will always walk in his way.
Then I will be happy on earth
And in my home above.
I’m Going to Follow Jesus Christ Today
Words by Steven Tomer
1. I’m going to follow Jesus Christ today.
I want to be like Him in ev’ry way.
If I do what’s right, He will send His light
As I read, pray, ponder, and obey.
2. I can be clean, brave, reverent, and kind.
I can serve Him with body, soul, and mind.
As a child of God, hold the iron rod
And give charity to all mankind.
3. I can bear testimony pure and true,
Be an example, do what He would do.
I’ll proclaim the truth though I’m in my youth,
So my friends can hear the gospel too.
Bread of Life, Living Water
Words by Annette W. Dickman
1. In the Garden, Jesus suffered
Ev’ry sin and ev’ry woe—
Bleeding drops from ev’ry pore,
That we might forgiveness know.
Bread of Life, Living Water,
Feed my soul, fill my heart.
Lord, give me new life in Thee
And make me whole—complete and holy—
Bound to Thee eternally.
2. Jesus sacrificed His body
On the cross in bitter pain—
Freely gave His life for us
So that we would live again.
Bread of Life, Living Water,
Feed my soul, fill my heart.
Lord, give me new life in Thee
And make me whole—complete and holy—
Bound to Thee eternally.
3. Now I come before the altar,
Off’ring Him my broken heart,
Seeking for the precious gifts
His Atonement can impart.
Bread of Life, Living Water,
Feed my soul, fill my heart.
Lord, give me new life in Thee
And make me whole—complete and holy—
Bound to Thee eternally.
Lord, give me new life in Thee
And make me whole—complete and holy—
Bound to Thee eternally.
Sometime We'll Understand
Words by Maxwell N. Cornelius and Rob Gardner
Not now, but in the coming years,
It may not be when we demand.
We’ll read the meaning of our tears,
And there, sometime, we’ll understand.
Why what we long for most of all
Eludes our open, pleading hand;
Why ever silence meets our call,
Somewhere, sometime, we'll understand.
(Chorus)
So trust in God through all thy days;
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand;
Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
Sometime, sometime we’ll understand.
Sometime we'll fall on bended knee,
And feel there graven on His hand;
Sometime, with tearless eyes we'll see
What here, we could not understand.
So trust in God through all thy days;
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand;
Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
Sometime, sometime we’ll understand.
Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
Sometime, sometime we’ll understand.
Because
Words by Shawna B. Edwards
1. Because He walked the path, I know the way.
Because He calmed the storm, I’m not afraid.
Because He made the lame to walk and caused the blind to see
And blessed the children one by one, I feel His love for me.
And I will praise forever
The Savior of the world,
And I will sing together
With all the Saints on earth.
Because He gave to me ev’rything
He had to give,
I breathe, I see, I hope, I love, I live.
2. Because He died for me, I’ll live again.
Because He is my Friend, I’ll follow Him.
Because He fills the world with light, I’m filled with hope and peace.
And when He comes to earth again, I’ll kneel before His feet.
And I will praise forever
The Savior of the world,
And I will sing together
With all the Saints on earth.
Because He gave to me ev’rything
He had to give,
I breathe, I see, I hope, I love, I live.
Come, Lord Jesus
Words from Savior of the World
1. Come, Lord Jesus, to the manger;
May we see thy tender face?
Great Creator, here a stranger,
Infant in this humble place.
Darkness scatter, morning swell;
Come, dear Lord Immanuel.
Come, Lord Jesus, to the manger;
Come, Lord Jesus, come!
2. Come, Lord Jesus, to the wounded,
Broken heart and bended knee.
Worthy Lamb, thy love unbounded,
Bid our souls to rest in Thee.
Grant us mercy, Savior, King;
Come with healing in Thy wings.
Come, Lord Jesus, to the wounded,
Come, Lord Jesus, come!
3. Come, Lord Jesus, great Redeemer,
Light of morning, Prince of Peace.
We will be Thy children ever;
Dry our tears, may weeping cease!
Come in glory, come again;
Come to us to rule and reign.
Ready us to kneel and greet thee;
Come, Lord Jesus, come!
Come, Lord Jesus, come!
1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
Join the great throng,
Psaltery, organ and song,
Sounding in glad adoration!
2. Praise to the Lord! Over all things He gloriously reigneth.
Borne as on eagle wings, safely His Saints He sustaineth.
Hast thou not seen
How all thou needest hath been
Granted in what He ordaineth?
3. Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy way and defend thee.
Surely His goodness and mercy shall ever attend thee.
Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do,
Who with His love doth befriend thee.
4. Praise to the Lord! Oh, let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath breath, join with Abraham’s seed to adore Him!
Let the “amen”
Sum all our praises again,
Now as we worship before Him.
All ye who hear, Now to His temple draw near!
There we will worship before Him.
There we will worship before Him.
