History and Sound

Cody Carnes records worship songs as a solo songwriter and in collaboration with other musicians.

In 2020, he presented “The Blessing” together with Kari Jobe and Elevation Worship; its lyrics draw on the blessing from the Book of Numbers. His own “Run to the Father” is structured as a personal prayer. In “Firm Foundation (He Won’t),” a short chorus phrase becomes the center of the entire song, especially noticeable in a live performance.

Albums and Recordings

Carnes’s first solo album, “The Darker the Night / The Brighter the Morning,” offers insight into his fuller studio sound. In the live recording “God Is Good!” the voice and the audience’s response take center stage. These recordings make it interesting to trace how the role of the instruments changes: in the studio, they establish the atmosphere, while onstage they emphasize pauses and give listeners a chance to join in. “Firm Foundation (He Won’t)” clearly demonstrates this second approach.
