RIP First Lady Carter. You always displayed class and dignity. Heaven has another citizen

[@ishatype2764]

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.

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.

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.’

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.”

[@birdthompson]

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....

@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.

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. ☮️

[@robertjones6880]

[@karenwilson5330]

@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. ☮️

This was a very touching moment. Thris your voice was in rare form and very beautiful.

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.

[@sandy_sd10]

It's about peace. Please don't be that person.

[@sandyjuntunen4088]

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.

[@johncallahan809]

Get over it. It’s a Beautiful song.

Perfect song, beautiful voices, rest easy First Lady Carter🩷🙏🕊

[@kimberlybalogh4395]

I Love that you have such Respect for calling her First Lady Carter. 💓

[@morales1961]

Perfect song? It's an atheist song. It's inappropriate for a Christian woman.

May Mrs. Carter rest in peace

Absolutely beautiful 🙏🙏

[@couponbee3311]

What a beautiful song and tribute. Condolences to the Carter family for their loss.

[@barbara6269]

A song completely opposite of Pres. Carter's beliefs. No heaven? I don't think he preached that message.

[@lisareed5669]

So precious and meaningful.

[@GarthBrooks-tj9tw]

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.

[@anthonyslotestauda4698]

Omgosh...... Just absolutely beautiful!!! May Mrs. Carter's soul be at peace.

What a honor Garth and Trisha to serenade Mrs. Carter’s family, friends and countrymen at her homecoming 🫶🏻👏🏼🫶🏾👏🏻

[@RSmith9946]

Do you know the words to that song? It certainly wasn’t about a homecoming.

[@lynnep6088]

The Carter’s were Christian and very involved in their church therefore I’m shocked this song was performed. According to the Lennon, the world could live as one if religion didn’t exist. But would the world really be better off without religion? So many misconceptions about what this song really means from John Lennons perspective.

God bless the family of Rosalynn Carter. She was a beautiful First Lady Of The United States. Rest in peace. Thank you for a job well done. 🙏

[@lizabetx483]

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

A powerful message to the world. RIP Mrs. Carter

[@rdeshane8041]

🥲 This whole service for Mrs. Carter was truly graceful & beautiful. Somebody used The Prayer to Saint Michael the Arch Angel, and he revealed his presence ...and yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me. Thy Rod and Thy Staff, they comfort me...Rest in Peace Mrs. Carter.
