Teaching Scriptures through music

In primary tomorrow I'm going to be introducing the song for March. It's "My Eternal Family", and it's about being a "builder" of your eternal family. It's very cute. The scripture for March is D&C 88:119. I've been wanting to have the children memorize the scripture for each month, but haven't figured out how to do it yet. This morning I decided to see if I could put this month's scripture to music. I decided to make it as a harmony part to the monthly song. I used the chords to give me the harmonies to create the counter-melody of the scripture. It fit's perfectly!! I'm so excited. Now I have to find the time to write it out so that everyone else in Primary can read it/sing it. Music is so awesome.
