Very true. So it's a little weird to me that a song chosen for her funeral "imagines" there's no heaven, when she and Jimmy always professed their Christianity.
It's nice to see everyone come together to honor one of the most loved first lady. It doesn't matter who wore what, what matters is that they were all THERE.
I kind of like the fact that this is posted in chunks. I don't think I could cry for a whole hour and a half in one go. Mrs. Carter is and will remain an inspiration. What makes me sad is not that I'm going to miss her; it's all the people gathered in her honor who WILL miss her. From what I've seen today, she was a wonderful person just as a family member, neighbor, and friend, to say nothing of her impact on the wider world.
@@MelissaThompson432 so you do know you can stop and start videos . Hence have a nice day. But it's more like you wish to start a fight. Find it somewhere else.
A true class act. Trisha placing her hand on Mrs Carter's casket was so beautiful. I won't forget this performance for a long time. I'm sure Mrs Carter was looking down at Garth and Trisha and her beloved President Carter in attendance at the service. Rest in Peace First Lady Roselyn Carter, you earned your rest ⚘️
What a beautiful song for Miss Rosalynn! The world lost such a good, lovely lady, she was one of my role models growing up. Garth and Trisha are truly wonderful people and did a fantastic job honoring a great lady.

It is amazing that this beautiful song is played at the funeral of Mrs.Carter who was a devout religious individual. A song that says imagine there was no heaven or inferno, but only skies above us.
@@madpat8Is it atheist? It says “imagen there’s no heaven” not there’s no heaven. It also says imagen there’s no countries. Is that the same as saying there are no countries? Plus being an atheist is not believing in any type of god, and mot all religions include heaven and hell in their beliefs.
“And the world will be as one.” Who doesn’t want that? Brotherhood of man, sharing all the world. Beautiful, transcends politics, governments, and bucoo religions.
I think the idea was that religion has caused a lot of strife in the world (and deaths). President Carter himself said that what so-called ‘evangelicals’ have done to the faith is so far away from what Christ actually taught, that if Christ himself appeared, these ppl would give him the boot. He’s not wrong either. A lot of ppl who claim this faith use it as a WEAPON against ppl who don’t look like them, act like them or believe what they believe. THIS kind of vile misuse of religion is wrong and definitely not ‘Christian.’
If you understand the meaning of the song, it actually is appropriate. Live your life not aimed at getting into Heaven, but at making the Earth Heaven.
@@amberandrews6842 Yes, I understand that, but that is not what a Christian believes. For us eternal life in heaven "is" the goal, not making life on earth "heaven". If some don't believe that, that is fine, but she did, and that is a ridiculous song to play at a funeral for a Christian. Written by a Marxist, dead beat father who cared more about his fame than his children. It's a great song for the funeral of an Atheist or a new age spiritual person. It's ok to insult Christians though, so no one really cares.
Wow! So much anger. Did you listen to any of the sermons or readings? Truly sad that you have so much fear and ownership of what is or is not Christian. Let the the peace that passes all understanding keep your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus.

@@saraschneider6781 I disagree with you, Both are beautiful songs about hope and friendship. What better place to play them. Plus Mrs Carter and family selected them
I think they were performed good but agree there were better choices. When I saw the choice of Imagine, the first thing that came to mind was the song I Can Only Imagine. That, in my opinion, would have been a better choice.

Imagine’ is undisputedly Lennon’s most widely revered track from his post-Beatles career but, in truth, the song feels as though it no longer belongs to him due to the plethora of different ways it has been interpreted over the last half a century. The legacy of the song was most perfectly summarised by President Jimmy Carter, who noted: “In many countries around the world - my wife and I have visited about 125 countries - you hear John Lennon’s song ‘Imagine’ used almost equally with national anthems.”
What Lennon meant, and no doubt what President and Mrs. Carter understood it to mean, was no _weaponized_ religion. "Imagine all the people living life in peace." And amen to that....
If “no _weaponized_ religion” is what Lennon meant, it is a shame he did not make that explicit. This horrible song might as well be considered the unofficial Atheists’ Anthem, and I think plenty of people regard it as exactly that.
@GarthBrooksVEVO This song is everything for me since I was a baby since 1979 the year I was born. I grew up with music cause my uncles would play & sing any song Jaz, pop music, Latin music, u name it. But this song I 😊love it so much when my first son was born in 2001 Carters had the Theme Imagine even the music for the baby and I still have it still works. I bought everything from Carter's even Newborn clothes from John Lennon Imagine stuff cute animals everything I have it still no damage. Years later I explained to my son why did I pick out this theme for him & he was so amazed that he actually 😭 hears this song as well.
Um... doesn't everyone always say that Carter was a devout Christian? So, why are they singing a song that says there is no Heaven and wishing for no religion?
Thanks a million, Nancy! Your comment has truly made my day. It's an incredible feeling to know that my music is being enjoyed by people like you. Keep on jamming.
@GarthBrooksVevo Garth Brooks, if there were any way to even know it is you writing, can you personally attest that both 1st Lady, and President Carter Implicitly chose and approved this specific song for the memorial ? The ongoing argument, and majority of traditional Christians commenting, feel the lyrics are in abject conflict with the Carter's lifelong Christian beliefs, practices, and participation in their church. It is well known they taught Sunday School. It is impossible to "Imagine" this song being played in their Church for her funeral. Can you clear this question up ? Did THEY choose the song, personally. Not "aides or organizers". Jimmy or Rosalyn, Personally.
🎶 Imagine going to Heaven It's easy if you try. Seeing Rosalynn up there. And John and George too. You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday we will join them Meanwhile helping the World to live as one🎶
Thanks a million, Casey! Your comment has truly made my day. It's an incredible feeling to know that my music is being enjoyed by people like you. Keep on jamming.
What a perfect song for First Lady Rosalyn Carter’s memorial. She dedicated her life to the service of others and the pursuit of world peace. As the saying goes “ peace is not a season, but a way of life”. Her life exemplifies adopting peace as a way of life. I miss her already. ☮️
@DDd-gm8uz The First Lady was a pacifist and she was not an elected official. She did not wage war against anyone or support a regime that was ruthless. President Carter was not a great president. I believe he got in over his head from the beginning, not realizing how difficult a job he had won. The “Third World”, from Latin America to Africa, was, at that time, mired in violence and corruption, he inherited a lot of issues and did not act in the interest of the people to alleviate their suffering. He will always be judged for his many mistakes. Yet, Rosalyn Carter did none of these things. She was a kind and gentle woman who loved her family, her husband, her church and her country. She should be honored for the life she lived. ☮️
I can’t believe my ears!!! I’m quite sure Mrs. Carter was NOT imagining that there is no heaven before God greeted her with open and loving arms. My disappointment in one of my all time faves (Garth) is heartbreaking.
Garth is very left. They generally think everybody goes to heaven if they're just a " good" person. Good meaning not a killer or rapist, etc. They make up their own religion, they don't follow the Bible. It's got parts they don't like.
They were probably supposed to sing this one but screwed up. I Can Only Imagine MercyMe I can only imagine What it will be like When I walk by Your side I can only imagine What my eyes would see When Your face is before me I can only imagine Yeah Surrounded by Your glory What will my heart feel? Will I dance for You Jesus Or in awe of You be still? Will I stand in Your presence Or to my knees, will I fall? Will I sing hallelujah? Will I be able to speak at all? I can only imagine I can only imagine I can only imagine When that day comes And I find myself Standing in the Son I can only imagine When all I will do Is forever, forever worship You I can only imagine, yeah I can only imagine Surrounded by Your glory What will my heart feel?

@@anthonylagunas6737 because she was a Christian. The song they sang was not a Christian song. I don’t disagree she planned her funeral but I do believe they misunderstood which song they were to sing.
The Carters are Christians so a song which starts with "Imagine there is no heaven" is not appropriate no mater how sweet the melody and the singing. The writer John Lenon once commented that he (Lenon) was more popular than Jesus. The starting lyrics Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us, only sky Imagine all the people Livin' for today
Song…”Imagine….No religion too” I think many are missing the point of the song. John is saying if there were no religion the wars would be over, for wars seem to always start over religion, whether it’s Hamas and Israel, the terrorists who created 9/11, the Mideast wars, Hitler etc. The word “religion” is meant to be about religious fanaticism, not necessarily about people’s personal spiritual views. We have certainly seen the results of religious fanaticism in the US too.
Thank you so much! Your kind words are like a warm hug and they make me feel so appreciated. Keep on listening and I'll keep on making music from the heart.
an awesome performance. I find it really interesting to play imagine talking about no religion, no hell, no heaven in a church. Imagine is actually my favorite song. As I'm against, having borders and greed and religion as well. We all know it's just a dream that one day we can set aside all the BS and live as one. Fantastic song... Written by one of the best performers on the planet with such a profound and deep meaning of any song out there.
Should have been this one. I Can Only Imagine MercyMe I can only imagine What it will be like When I walk by Your side I can only imagine What my eyes would see When Your face is before me I can only imagine Yeah Surrounded by Your glory What will my heart feel? Will I dance for You Jesus Or in awe of You be still? Will I stand in Your presence Or to my knees, will I fall? Will I sing hallelujah? Will I be able to speak at all? I can only imagine I can only imagine I can only imagine When that day comes And I find myself Standing in the Son I can only imagine When all I will do Is forever, forever worship You I can only imagine, yeah I can only imagine Surrounded by Your glory What will my heart feel?

I don't think the song "Imagine" was appropriate to sing at the memorial of Rosalyn Carter. The reason I don't is because of the lyrics in the song that is sung "Imagine there is no heaven it's easy if you try. No Hell below us above only sky." Both Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter are both rooted deeply in the christian faith. They very much believe in a Heaven and a Hell. That is the reason I could never like the song "Imagine" because I also believe in a Heaven and a Hell. Other than this song sung at Rosalyn's memorial. I think the rest of the ceremony was beautiful.
I agree that it was probably not the song to sing for Rosalyn's funeral since she is a Christian, but not everyone believes the same thing. Jewish people don't believe in hell nor does any other non-Christian. There was no hell in the Old Testament since Hell is a Christian invention. But I, too, wondered why they had chosen this particular song.
It was a beautiful and inspirational funeral fitting for the woman and First Lady she was! Simple and heartfelt. Loved seeing Trisha and Garth singing! Lovely! The song is so relevant!
A totally inappropriate song to sing at the funeral of devoted Christian woman. Imagine there's no Heaven. It's easy if you try. Truly sad that this song was sung. A beautiful woman she was. A strong Christian woman she was. Devoted to her husband and family and country. A legacy of faith and devotion. I am sure she is with Christ in Heaven today singing praises to her Lord and Savior. Love and peace to her family.
Wow- I'm thinking this is a very weird choice of song for this occasion. Imagine no country - for the wife of a former head of state. No religion, too, for deeply religious people....
Seems like a strange song choice given the lyrics about no religion, no hell and no heaven given the Carter's very clear and strong faith and the fact that they are in a church. The song has some nice sentiments, but is a strange choice given the setting and their beliefs....
Thank you so much! Your kind words are like a warm hug and they make me feel so appreciated. Keep on listening and I'II keep on making music from the heart.
Seems like such an inappropriate song to choose if they knew their true faith and all the controversies around Lennon saying that the Beatles are bigger than Jesus. Such a poor choice of a song for her and shows how out of touch the secular world is. “I can only image” would of been a MUCH better choice. It’s even kind of gross they sang that song in a church for a funeral for a Christian.

The whole ceremony was beautiful. A respite from all the chaos in the world and a call to pause and silent reflection.
You are so right.
Get a life. Why do you need to turn on somebody’s funeral to find peace? Geez you’re deprived!
I’m sorry but the song is a communist song attack God.

Except that John Lennon asks you to Imagine there's no heaven, its easy if you try. In a church. WTF
It's nice to see everyone come together to honor one of the most loved first lady. It doesn't matter who wore what, what matters is that they were all THERE.

Why sing this song at a Christian lady's funeral?
because she planned her funeral and wanted this song?
Because she understood the separation of church and state
because "the lady" requested and wanted it sung...obviously. Maybe she wasn't as "christian" as some appeared she was.

Thank you so much! Your kind words are like a warm hug and they make me feel so appreciated. Keep on listening and I'II keep on making music from the heart.
Beautiful just beautiful. What a song to sing homegoing. God bless Mrs. Carter and Thank you for your wonderful service. Now go rest in peace. You done your work on this earth.😢😢😢😢 2:17 2:19 2:22 ❤
So true
It’s a heartfelt song. About peace , which we desperately need.
The song rejects the creator, God, written by an atheist.
@@stephensmith6790 Of course, everybody knows the sense of those lyrics but now it's often played in churches, temples,...
@@stephensmith6790calm down
Beautiful and very fitting in the times the world is in. RIP
so many years ago while working at the then Jesup Sentinel i had the opportunity to meet the Carter’s as he traveled through Georgia announcing running for President of our great nation , America. great honor that i shall always remember.

Imagine’ is undisputedly Lennon’s most widely revered track from his post-Beatles career but, in truth, the song feels as though it no longer belongs to him due to the plethora of different ways it has been interpreted over the last half a century. The legacy of the song was most perfectly summarised by President Jimmy Carter, who noted: “In many countries around the world - my wife and I have visited about 125 countries - you hear John Lennon’s song ‘Imagine’ used almost equally with national anthems.”
no heaven, no religion, etc: Lennon challenged the establishment
What Lennon meant, and no doubt what President and Mrs. Carter understood it to mean, was no _weaponized_ religion. "Imagine all the people living life in peace."
And amen to that....
It’s completely inappropriate in a church setting
If “no _weaponized_ religion” is what Lennon meant, it is a shame he did not make that explicit. This horrible song might as well be considered the unofficial Atheists’ Anthem, and I think plenty of people regard it as exactly that.
@@christinepaige2575 ...you would almost think people could figure it out by...listening to the words....
A beautiful testament to a woman of ethics, morals and humanity. Rest in peace Roselyn Carter.
Yes….. Beverly! I will like to know you and if you really are a fan of my music 🎼
@GarthBrooksVEVO This song is everything for me since I was a baby since 1979 the year I was born. I grew up with music cause my uncles would play & sing any song Jaz, pop music, Latin music, u name it. But this song I 😊love it so much when my first son was born in 2001 Carters had the Theme Imagine even the music for the baby and I still have it still works. I bought everything from Carter's even Newborn clothes from John Lennon Imagine stuff cute animals everything I have it still no damage. Years later I explained to my son why did I pick out this theme for him & he was so amazed that he actually 😭 hears this song as well.
@@meowijuannacats8542 I’m glad. This really makes me wanna cry too.
I will like to know you more if you don’t mind too
Um... doesn't everyone always say that Carter was a devout Christian? So, why are they singing a song that says there is no Heaven and wishing for no religion?
Rip Mrs Carter! Well done services to a well deserve First Lady❤😢.
May she Rest with Jesus and May The Lord Bless Jimmy Carter
Wonderful tribute to a wonderful women good job Garth and Mrs Yearwood
Yes, gave me chills.❤
Mrs. Brooks.
Daughter Amy must be heartbroken losing her mom and soon her dad. 😢
Prayers for Mrs. Carter's family.
She is the only First Lady's funeral I cried. Loved seeing Garth and Trisha together.
Thanks a million, Nancy! Your comment has truly made my day. It's an incredible feeling to know that my music is being enjoyed by people like you. Keep on jamming.
@@GarthBrooksVEVObeautiful tribute
@@ladykfirst send your email address to get through to you
Nancy you can do the same too
@GarthBrooksVevo Garth Brooks, if there were any way to even know it is you writing, can you personally attest that both 1st Lady, and President Carter Implicitly chose and approved this specific song for the memorial ? The ongoing argument, and majority of traditional Christians commenting, feel the lyrics are in abject conflict with the Carter's lifelong Christian beliefs, practices, and participation in their church. It is well known they taught Sunday School. It is impossible to "Imagine" this song being played in their Church for her funeral. Can you clear this question up ? Did THEY choose the song, personally. Not "aides or organizers". Jimmy or Rosalyn, Personally.
Beautiful service for a beautiful first lady. Take care and god bless. To President Jimmy Carter and Family. 🌹♥️🌹
Hi Donna. Yea it’s really a beautiful service for her. Are you really a fan of mine? If yes, I will like to get to know you more
What a nice family the Carters are.
🎶 Imagine going to Heaven
It's easy if you try.
Seeing Rosalynn up there.
And John and George too.
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday we will join them
Meanwhile helping the World to live as one🎶
Thanks a million, Casey! Your comment has truly made my day. It's an incredible feeling to know that my music is being enjoyed by people like you. Keep on jamming.
Imagine all of the 1st ladies smiling humbly at each other at this funeral ...
Just a beautiful service, for a beautiful woman... She was just so special and sweet.. May you rest in peace... ❤️❤️.. 🙏🙏.. 🌹🌹🌹... 🕊️🕊️🕊️...
What a perfect song for First Lady Rosalyn Carter’s memorial. She dedicated her life to the service of others and the pursuit of world peace. As the saying goes “ peace is not a season, but a way of life”. Her life exemplifies adopting peace as a way of life. I miss her already. ☮️
perfect song? total rubbish
@DDd-gm8uz The First Lady was a pacifist and she was not an elected official. She did not wage war against anyone or support a regime that was ruthless. President Carter was not a great president. I believe he got in over his head from the beginning, not realizing how difficult a job he had won. The “Third World”, from Latin America to Africa, was, at that time, mired in violence and corruption, he inherited a lot of issues and did not act in the interest of the people to alleviate their suffering. He will always be judged for his many mistakes. Yet, Rosalyn Carter did none of these things. She was a kind and gentle woman who loved her family, her husband, her church and her country. She should be honored for the life she lived. ☮️
Anti religious song sung in a church, bravo@@robertjones6880
Respect and honor to Ms. Carter
I can’t believe my ears!!! I’m quite sure Mrs. Carter was NOT imagining that there is no heaven before God greeted her with open and loving arms. My disappointment in one of my all time faves (Garth) is heartbreaking.
It's about peace. Please don't be that person.
Garth is very left. They generally think everybody goes to heaven if they're just a " good" person. Good meaning not a killer or rapist, etc. They make up their own religion, they don't follow the Bible. It's got parts they don't like.
Get over it. It’s a Beautiful song.
They were probably supposed to sing this one but screwed up.

How do you know, she planned it.
@@anthonylagunas6737 because she was a Christian. The song they sang was not a Christian song. I don’t disagree she planned her funeral but I do believe they misunderstood which song they were to sing.
@@RSmith9946 I am sure it was well planned. They sang the song she wanted, not you.
@@anthonylagunas6737 whatever
The Carters are Christians so a song which starts with "Imagine there is no heaven" is not appropriate no mater how sweet the melody and the singing. The writer John Lenon once commented that he (Lenon) was more popular than Jesus. The starting lyrics
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
exactly
Pagan
Song…”Imagine….No religion too”
I think many are missing the point of the song. John is saying if there were no religion the wars would be over, for wars seem to always start over religion, whether it’s Hamas and Israel, the terrorists who created 9/11, the Mideast wars, Hitler etc. The word “religion” is meant to be about religious fanaticism, not necessarily about people’s personal spiritual views. We have certainly seen the results of religious fanaticism in the US too.
Can't beat the world with a secular peace message.
Perfect song❤️ RIP Rosalynn Carter.
Many didn't know that Garth and Trisha built homes with the Carter's for habitat for humanity
A beautiful song for a beautiful soul! RIP Rosalynn!
imagine there's no heaven... sure what a beautiful song!!! Idiot
I can’t find the words to say goodbye and thank you, Mrs Carter for all that you’ve done, so I’ll just say thank you for being you.
Love those two ❤️ beautiful tribute to a beautiful Lady.
I thought this an odd song to sing at a Christian woman's funeral. But her son and daughter's tributes to their mother were beautiful.
Could have been a favorite song of Mrs Carter and a request from the family.... RIP your work on earth is done
Perfect song.
Second best song ever.
@@Raydington thinking outside the box and longing for peace is new age? Sign me up, warmonger.
And yet this expresses her life perfectly. It's not all about Jesus.
Beautiful! No other word for this tribute!
RIP thanks for your service to our nation FLOTUS Carter
Amazing.... such a wonderful tribute to a lady who IMAGINED a peaceful world...
While supporting a party that murders unborn babies. 😮
And the Prince of Peace Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of God the father in where? Heaven!
It was a beautiful and lovely ceremony, I wish John's song could come true so we all could live in Peace. ❤
Beautiful,but sad..Much Love& Prayers for the Family & Friends🇺🇸🥀
Interesting song to be sung at a church during a religious service
I was thinking the same thing..pretty song though.
The pastor who allowed it probably is a clueless sell out, who doesn’t even know that it does not belong in church
It was not a religious service, it was a celebration of her life.
I'm sure it was approved or requested by the Carters.
@@anthonylagunas6737 in a church led by a cleric
Such a wonderful lady!! Beautiful service!! Love the song. Rest in peace❤

Absolutely Beautiful rendition of Imagine for Rosalynn Carter!
Thank you ❤
Rest in peace Mrs Carter. Blessings
A song completely opposite of Pres. Carter's beliefs. No heaven? I don't think he preached that message.
an awesome performance. I find it really interesting to play imagine talking about no religion, no hell, no heaven in a church. Imagine is actually my favorite song. As I'm against, having borders and greed and religion as well. We all know it's just a dream that one day we can set aside all the BS and live as one. Fantastic song... Written by one of the best performers on the planet with such a profound and deep meaning of any song out there.
I think 9t was the perfect song to be sung.
No reason to sit in a church on a hard pew all your life if you don't believe in heaven.
Should have been this one.

@@RSmith9946AMEN 🙏🕊️ Mercy Me would have been a Beautiful and Respectful choice.
I don't think the song "Imagine" was appropriate to sing at the memorial of Rosalyn Carter. The reason I don't is because of the lyrics in the song that is sung "Imagine there is no heaven it's easy if you try. No Hell below us above only sky." Both Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter are both rooted deeply in the christian faith. They very much believe in a Heaven and a Hell.
That is the reason I could never like the song "Imagine" because I also believe in a Heaven and a Hell. Other than this song sung at Rosalyn's memorial. I think
the rest of the ceremony was beautiful.
I agree that it was probably not the song to sing for Rosalyn's funeral since she is a Christian, but not everyone believes the same thing. Jewish people don't believe in hell nor does any other non-Christian. There was no hell in the Old Testament since Hell is a Christian invention. But I, too, wondered why they had chosen this particular song.
It was a beautiful and inspirational funeral fitting for the woman and First Lady she was! Simple and heartfelt. Loved seeing Trisha and Garth singing! Lovely! The song is so relevant!
It wasn’t her funeral.🤦♀️
You’re right! It was a memorial service!
@@debrasnipes7431 You’re correct, it was a memorial service!
Relevant how? Did you hear the words?
As I watched this yesterday I had a laugh when they sang imagine no religion LOL
Why would you sing a song that has its first phrase Imagine there’s no heaven if you are a Christian? That made no sense to me.
Rest in Peace Mrs Carter❣️🙏🏻
Hard to believe they included lyrics of imagining no heaven or religion.
This was a very touching moment. Thris your voice was in rare form and very beautiful.
May she rest well until her forever love will once again be at her side !
Beautiful Performance ❤
Nothing like a song that's anti God and anti Religion being sung in a church no less. What disrespect for the house of God!
Omgosh...... Just absolutely beautiful!!! May Mrs. Carter's soul be at peace.
A totally inappropriate song to sing at the funeral of devoted Christian woman. Imagine there's no Heaven. It's easy if you try. Truly sad that this song was sung. A beautiful woman she was. A strong Christian woman she was. Devoted to her husband and family and country. A legacy of faith and devotion. I am sure she is with Christ in Heaven today singing praises to her Lord and Savior. Love and peace to her family.
Just a beautiful, heartfelt testament honoring such a gracious and remarkable woman. Rest in Eternal Peace, Mrs Carter❤
Perfect song, beautiful voices, rest easy First Lady Carter🩷🙏🕊
I Love that you have such Respect for calling her First Lady Carter. 💓
Perfect song? It's an atheist song. It's inappropriate for a Christian woman.
Thank you so much or posting this. So beautiful...
Wow- I'm thinking this is a very weird choice of song for this occasion. Imagine no country - for the wife of a former head of state. No religion, too, for deeply religious people....
May Mrs. Carter rest in peace
So stupid of them to play a world famous atheist song at a super religious ceremony.
A beautiful ceremony for a beautiful First Lady💔😪😪
Seems like a strange song choice given the lyrics about no religion, no hell and no heaven given the Carter's very clear and strong faith and the fact that they are in a church. The song has some nice sentiments, but is a strange choice given the setting and their beliefs....
I'm convinced Yoko wrote this cundty tripe. No other Lennon track has ever made me wretch. Literally.
"To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."
As the song says, no religion.
So precious and meaningful.
Thank you so much! Your kind words are like a warm hug and they make me feel so appreciated. Keep on listening and I'II keep on making music from the heart.
Seems like such an inappropriate song to choose if they knew their true faith and all the controversies around Lennon saying that the Beatles are bigger than Jesus. Such a poor choice of a song for her and shows how out of touch the secular world is. “I can only image” would of been a MUCH better choice. It’s even kind of gross they sang that song in a church for a funeral for a Christian.
