Скачать или смотреть Shawn Mitchell - Imagine

Imagine.
Re-imagined.
For Your Consideration in first round Grammy voting.

John Lennon’s universal song that speaks to deep human longing is adapted to bring in the divine in this gospel infused version sung by Shawn Mitchell and featuring the WorkStudy Performing Arts Choir. Journey with the kids as they learn the song from Shawn in the time of COVID.
The audio was released on the day of George Floyd’s funeral as the nation and world stood in desperate need of the unity, brotherhood and healing that can only come from the Father of Creation. The video was shot the day before John Lewis' funeral further closing the circular need for coming together before we disintegrate separately.

With a gospel build starting around 3:35, the message that ‘the world will be as one’ resounds with grace-filled hope. We further “hope that someday you’ll join us” – perhaps even today. Peace through the love of Jesus.

Imagine (gospel)

Imagine you’re in heaven, your time on earth is through
Eternal joy is waiting, as Jesus welcomes you
Imagine all the people, living for God’s will

Imagine peace perfected, like only He could do
No more warring madness, hatred is over too
Imagine all the people, living in God’s grace

You may say I’m a dreamer, but faith and hope let me know
Jesus promised of a place, with love that never lets us go

Imagine needing nothing, I wonder if you can
No more pain or illness, it’s his eternal plan
Imagine all the people singing God’s praise

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 be as one

And the world will be as one (8x)

You may say I'm a dreamer
And the world will be as one
