  1. When I was in HS, we sang Handel’s Messiah at the National Cathedral. The acoustics are tremendous. To sing a sacrilegious like “Imagine” there is an abomination. Someone besides President Carter had to include it in the service. They should be admonished for having that song included. The director of the National Cathedral should be fired!!!

    • That’s what Former President Jimmy Carter wanted at his funeral, as that was his favorite song & it was also sung at Roseyln’s funeral also by Garth Brooks & Trisha Yearwood. When he was alive he could have suggested another song, but this is what he wanted.

      • I agree. It is said this is his favorite song. Honestly I’ve never actually paid attention to the lyrics before and I’ve sang it in the car. God is the judge not us. Would I choose this song ever for a funeral or to be sung in a church? Absolutely not..

  2. These two idiots aren’t country. Porter Wagoner, Buck Owens, George Jones, Merle Haggard and the husband trisha yearwood kicked to the curb are country.

  3. Just Imagine they sang this song at his wife’s funeral too Very Very Weird coltish
    I think the devil just showed his face at a funeral

  4. Yes – John Lennon singing about having “no possessions” when he in fact was the equivalent of one of today’s billionaires!

    I thought the performance of that song at a Christian funeral utterly shameful.

  5. Do critics of Christian music not have a favorite secular song and wouldn’t Jesus have sought out sinners rather than avoiding them if he were present? Jimmy Carter, for example, was a Godly man, even if not Christlike. Hypocritical judgment is wrong. Jesus’ command not to judge others in Matthew 7:1 is preceded by comparisons to hypocrites (Matthew 6:2, 5, 16) and followed by a warning against hypocrisy (Matthew 7:3–5). When we point out the sin of others while we ourselves commit the same sin, we condemn ourselves (Romans 2:1). Again, are there any here that do not have a favorite Secular song?
