A Song For Everyone is the sixth studio and third English language album by Christian singer Evie. It was released in 1973 on the Norwegian label Joy Records and in the United States, it was on Majestic Records label with an alternate album cover. The Norwegian album cover features Evie seating on a fence outside and eating an apple and in the U.S. album cover features a photo of her looking at a flower with a blue background.

A Song For Everyone features 10 tracks combining pop, gospel, and religious styles. The songs Evie covers include Larry Norman's signature classic "I Wish We'd All Been Ready," Dottie Rambo's "Don't Take My Cross Away" and the full English language version of the John Newton hymn "Amazing Grace." The album was produced by Don Storms. Both the U.S. and Norway albums had the same track listing when they were first issued. On the streaming version, it has a different track listing order.
