Cody Carnes is a Christian worship artist married to Kari Jobe, known for songs including The Blessing (with Kari Jobe and Elevation Worship), Nothing Else, God of All My Days, and Run To The Father. He is associated with Gateway Church in Texas and Maverick City Music.
Cody Carnes has built a worship ministry grounded in authentic Christian faith. His songwriting — including Nothing Else (a declaration of finding satisfaction only in Jesus), Run To The Father, and God of All My Days — consistently focuses on Christ and the Christian's relationship with God rather than self-centered spiritual experience. This theological center distinguishes him from worship artists whose music focuses on feeling rather than doctrine.
His association with Maverick City Music is significant — Maverick City is one of the more careful worship collectives regarding theological content. This collaboration reflects Carnes' commitment to sound worship rather than trending aesthetics.
The Blessing — co-written by Cody Carnes, Kari Jobe, Chris Brown, and Steven Furtick and recorded by Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes with Elevation Worship — became one of the most significant worship releases in recent memory. Its direct engagement with Numbers 6:24-26 (Aaron's priestly blessing) represents exactly the kind of Scripture-grounded worship that stands the test of time. The song was recorded over 70 national versions during COVID-19. See Cody Carnes official site.
Cody Carnes is associated with Gateway Church and collaborates with Elevation Worship (see our Elevation Worship guide for source concerns). These associations warrant awareness but do not undermine the theological soundness of his specific catalog. His songs stand on their own merits.
