Imagine...Reimagined


Yes, I am a closet American Idol fan. And yes, last night's final was the impetus for this post. But enough about that...


Imagine

(Original lyrics by John Lennon,
Reimagined lyrics by the Spirit of Christ,
As reflected and refracted through
His stumbling disciple, Raffi Shahinian)

Imagine New Creation
It's easy if you try
Not an optimistic fantasy
But God's modus operendi

Imagine all the people
Living in light of that day...

Imagine there's no fear
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
The one on Calvary will do

Imagine all the people
Living by that peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But its actually the dream of the Son
I hope someday we'll join Him
So heaven and earth can be as one

Imagine all possessions
A wondrous gift to man
Given in trust to hold in love
Used humbly in aid of His plan

Imagine all the people
Embracing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one.


Grace and Peace,
Raffi
