Words that rhyme with Savior
Savior: two-syllable, an unguarded everyday word, vowel sitting on the mid /ษ/, ending that trails through a flowing liquid. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. From the rhyme-data side: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, no family-rhyme matches turn up, and the assonance bucket is the workhorse here. From the lyric side, it works as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Reach for the assonance list whenever the strict pool starts repeating itself.

Why savior rhymes the way it does
Savior is built around the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 3 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 173, assonance 5,018, and consonance 1. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Savior is a word that benefits from the second pass.
