Cody Carnes Showcases God’s Unending Righteousness in “Good (Can’t Be Anything Else)”

"You are good
In all things perfect
Oh I can trust Your promise
I’ve never seen you turn away"

When God tells us that He is good, we seem to forget that his goodness is a part of Him as the days go by. When dark days come, and difficulties rise, we quickly jump to the conclusion that God can be something other than good. But this is not how God works. In his song, “Good (Can’t Be Anything Else),” Cody Carnes reminds us that God’s goodness is so entirely weaved into His being that he cannot be anything other than good. Even though we might change like shifting sand, God does not. Through all things, He will always be good. That will never change.

WATCH NOW: Cody Carnes “Good (Can’t Be Anything Else)”

“Good (Can’t Be Anything Else)” begins with a mellow piano melody, as Carnes’ voice declares that God is perfect in all things and is wholly trustworthy. As the song’s energy slowly builds to a crescendo, a choir of voices join in to praise. Carnes creates another fresh and soul-driving melody with this rocking worship ballad. Every time we doubt, we can look back to this song’s inspiring message and moving melody to remember the truth of God’s unchanging goodness. 

God has never truly forsaken us. Even though we may have looked around and failed to see The Lord, He has always been by our side, working for our benefit. Good is who God is. God has always been good, and will always be good. We just need to remember that He can never be anything else.

“You are good
And You can only be good
You can’t be anything else”

“Good (Can’t Be Anything Else)” was released as a single in August 2022. Carnes says, “The Bible says taste and see that the Lord is good and every good thing comes from him! Good is not just a character trait. it’s the very essence of who He is. He can’t be anything else.”
