The first track of Carnes’ set starts off with a bang, setting the pace for the rest of the album. “Good (Can’t Be Anything Else)” showcases Carnes’ talent in leading a worship set, as the song fosters unique energy through a sound of pure confidence and faith in Christ. Carnes most simply states the overarching theme of the album, declaring that God is good, will continue to be good, and has always been good to us. Though this world can throw sorrows and difficulties our way, we must not allow the blame to be placed on God. His goodness permeates every fiber of His being, and we should run to the goodness of our God rather than seeking shelter in the sorrows that this world has to offer.

One of the most energetic and joyful songs on this album, “Take You At Your Word” features the satisfying combination of Carnes’ talents with that of Benjamin William Hastings, as the two craft an inspiringly joyful and earnest praise. This song’s rocking sound gives a context to the message of the song, as Carnes and Hastings declare that they will trust the promises God has given them with joy and anticipation. God has promised us that He will give us a future and a hope, so all we need to do is take Him at His word and know that He will never let us down.

Originally created in collaboration with Brandon Lake, Carnes’ live rendition of “Too Good To Not Believe” is a powerful ballad of reminiscence for all the wonders that God has worked out of our lives. This deeply personal and moving song packs a power like few others, and Carnes seamlessly weaves this song into the next track, “Our God Reigns (Psalm 47),” providing listeners with two songs in one continuous stretch of worship. Our God, the God who will reign forever, has been too good to us over the years for us to not believe that He is capable. Every miracle that we have witnessed has shown us His character. Because of His goodness, we simply must believe.
