Rich, I will have to think about what you are saying the next time I hear that song. Maybe it will help me like it better.
There is a link to the song in the post just above your post!
I see nothing wrong with wanting only that which He promised. Now, that being said, not all translations use the word mansion:
Joh 14:2 In my Fathers house are many dwelling places: if it were not so, I would haue tolde you: I go to prepare a place for you. (Geneva)
Joh 14:2 There are many rooms in my Father's house, and I am going to prepare a place for you. I would not tell you this if it were not so. (GNB)
Joh 14:2 In my Father's house there are many resting-places. Were it otherwise, I would have told you; for I am going to make ready a place for you. (Weymouth)
Joh 14:2 In my Father's house there are many abodes; were it not so, I had told you: for I go to prepare you a place; (Darby)
I see the song as nothing more than expressing a desire for that of which Christ spoke.
