“Everything Is Beautiful” is a song written, composed and performed by Ray Stevens. It came out in 1970 and was at the top of the charts. I remember thinking, as someone’s dime played it on the jute box, what is that first part doing in there? It was children heard singing the chorus of the hymn, “Jesus Loves the Little Children“
I considered myself an atheist at the time and didn’t care for that sort of thing. Down the road fifty-five years now, I know Jesus loves all of us even though many don’t appreciate it.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
I wouldn’t judge Ray as to where he’s heading, but there is no evidence that he believes God loves anyone, including him. He even mocked old fashion revivals. How about you? Give it some thought.
