Social media users expressed outrage over the song that Garth Brooks and his wife Trisha Yearwood performed during Jimmy Carter's funeral in Washington D.C. on Thursday. In response to their tribute to the late 39th President of the United States, X users furiously slammed the country singer, 62, and Yearwood, 60, for singing John Lennon's 1971 track, Imagine.

While it is no surprise the couple, who had a close relationship to Carter and his late wife Rosalynn, were tapped to perform, many took offense to the song, which many are saying wasn't the right choice for a memorial service in a Christian church. The firestorm on social media largely centered on questioning the lyrical rejection of religion inside a church.

One of the most polarizing verses goes: 'Imagine there’s no heaven / It’s easy if you try / No Hell below us / Above us.'. 'Why would you sing this song at a Christian funeral? Weird,' one tweeted.
