Singing time

I truly have the BEST calling in Church. I play piano in Primary, and I LOVE it. This past Sunday, during singing time, we sang the song "Holding Hands Around the World". This is one of my new favorite songs, and every time we sing it, I feel the spirit so strongly,

There are children singing all around the world,
Happy voices ringing out the joyful word:
We are children glowing with the gospel light,
Standing tall, walking strong, choosing right.
There are children leading out in every land
Who believe in keeping all the Lord's commands.
Like the stripling warriors, we go forth in faith,
For we know that the Lord is our strength.
chorus:
We are children holding hands around the world,
Like an army with the gospel flag unfurled.
We are led by his light,
And we love truth and right.
We are building the kingdom of God.
There are children sharing all around the world,
Leading other children to the gospel fold.
With the strength of youth, we do the Father's work.
With our hearts and our hands we will serve.
We are cov'nant children with a gift to give.
We will teach the gospel by the way we live.
With each word and action , we will testify:
We believe and we serve Jesus Christ.

I love that song and I want your calling! That calling is open in my ward so my fingers are crossed. Is that wrong of me? I guess I'll go where He wants me to go!
