Musical Notes by Steve Finner GOD LOVES EVERYONE By Ron Sexsmith God loves everyone Like a mother loves her son No strings at all Unconditional Never one to judge Would never hold a grudge 'Bout what's been done God loves everyone There are no gates in heaven Everyone gets in Queer or straight Souls of every faith Hell is in our minds Hell is in this life But when it's gone God takes everyone Its love is like a womb It’s like the air from room to room It surrounds us all The living and the dead May we never lose the thread That bound us all The killer in his cell The atheist as well The pure of heart And the wild at heart Are all worthy of its grace It's written in the face Of everyone God loves everyone There's no need to be saved No need to be afraid Cause when it’s done God takes everyone God loves everyone (From the Nov./Dec. 2007 Issue of the UNIVERSALIST HERALD, from Ron Sexsmith’s Album, Cobblestone Runway.
