Everything is Beautiful is the third studio and second English language album by Christian singer Evie. It was released in 1972 on the Norwegian label Joy Records. The other Norwegian label Klango also released the album. In the United States, it released through Majestic Records, but with a different album cover where the trees are in the background. The Norwegian album cover features Evie wearing a yellow shirt against a light blue background, which could represent the blue sky.

Everything is Beautiful features the title song as the opening track. It is a Ray Stevens cover that he originally recorded and sung in 1970 and was a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Other songs include the Bill and Gloria Gaither classic "There's Something About That Name" as part of the "Jesus Medley" segment, Dottie Rambo's "If That Isn't Love" and the traditional standard "Wayfaring Stranger." The album was produced by Don Storms. Both the U.S. and Norway albums have the same track listing.
