Canton Jones - Beautiful Lyrics
Lyrics
Hey beautiful, you're beautiful
Hey beautiful, you're beautiful
Has anybody ever told you that you're beautiful
And maybe you just haven't heard in a while that you're beautiful
Has anybody ever told you that you're beautiful
Or maybe you just haven't heard in a while that you're beautiful
And now i need you to know that you are really special
You are really beautiful to me and
I want you to know just how i feel
Even when you smile you brighten up the room
God had to take his time when he created you
You're one of a kind
I want you to know you're beautiful
Has anybody ever told you that you're beautiful
And maybe you just haven't heard in a while that you're beautiful
Has anybody ever told you that you're beautiful
Or maybe you just haven't heard in a while that you're beautiful
You're beautiful on the outside but you're even more
Beautiful on the inside, words cannot describe
How i feel when i'm with you
You bring me joy and i want to be the one to
Return that joy and i don't want nothing from you
It's unconditional, you're what i've been searching for
And i want you to know
That i think you're beautiful
Has anybody ever told you that you're beautiful
And maybe you just haven't heard in a while that you're beautiful
Has anybody ever told you that you're beautiful
Or maybe you just haven't heard in a while that you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
Has anybody ever told you that you're beautiful
And maybe you just haven't heard in a while that you're beautiful
Has anybody ever told you that you're beautiful
Or maybe you just haven't heard in a while that you're beautiful

Canton Jones- Beautiful
Meaning & Inspiration
Canton Jones’ compelling song, "Beautiful," released on February 1, 2011, as part of his album *Dominionaire*, serves as a powerful testament to the inherent worth and divine design of every individual. From its opening declaration, the track immediately immerses the audience in a message of affirmation, addressing a deep-seated human desire to be seen and valued. It’s more than just a song; it’s an auditory embrace, a reminder delivered with earnest conviction that echoes a profound spiritual truth often forgotten in a world quick to point out flaws. The song’s essence lies in its tender inquiry: "Has anybody ever told you that you're beautiful? And maybe you just haven't heard in a while that you're beautiful." This question isn't rhetorical; it’s a gentle prodding, aiming to fill a void where genuine commendation might be lacking, especially for those who rarely receive such uplifting words.
The narrative woven through "Beautiful" unpacks the multi-faceted nature of true attractiveness, moving beyond mere superficiality to the very core of one's being. Canton Jones emphasizes, "You're beautiful on the outside but you're even more Beautiful on the inside," articulating a wisdom deeply resonant with biblical teachings. While society often prioritizes external appearance, Scripture consistently elevates the beauty of character and spirit. For instance, 1 Peter 3:3-4 counsels, "Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God." This profound connection highlights that the true splendor of an individual radiates from their inner self—their kindness, integrity, and compassion—qualities that hold eternal value. Similarly, Proverbs 31:30 reminds us that "Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised," reinforcing the idea that lasting beauty is found in one’s reverence and character, a message the song thoughtfully extends to all.
At the very heart of this empowering anthem is the foundational belief in divine creation. When Canton Jones declares, "God had to take his time when he created you, You're one of a kind," he is channeling the very spirit of Psalm 139:13-14, which exults, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." This Scripture confirms that each person is a unique masterpiece, meticulously crafted by the Creator, bearing His divine imprint. To be "fearfully and wonderfully made" means to be fashioned with immense care and purpose, a testament to God's boundless creativity and love. This divine origin imbues every individual with inherent worth, irrespective of worldly standards or personal shortcomings. The song’s message that "you are really beautiful to me" becomes not just a human compliment, but a reflection of how God Himself views His creation—precious and honored in His sight, as articulated in Isaiah 43:4, "Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you."
Furthermore, "Beautiful" articulates a love that is unconditional, mirroring the very nature of God's love for humanity. The lyrics, "I don't want nothing from you, It's unconditional, you're what I've been searching for," evoke the selfless, sacrificial love exemplified by Christ. Romans 5:8 declares, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us," illustrating a love that gives without expectation of return, purely for the well-being of the beloved. This resonates deeply with the song's refusal of transactional relationships, instead fostering a spirit of pure admiration and appreciation. It’s a call to embrace a love that sees beyond faults and celebrates existence itself, a love that brings joy and seeks to return it, fostering an environment of affirmation. This aligns perfectly with the command to encourage one another, as seen in 1 Thessalonians 5:11, "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." Canton Jones’ "Beautiful" is more than just a song; it's a spiritual balm, a declaration of identity rooted in divine truth, urging everyone to recognize and revel in the profound beauty that God Himself has bestowed upon them, both inside and out.
