“This song is a celebration of the goodness of God,” shares Cody Carnes. “The Bible tells us that God is good and everything good comes from Him. I know I’ve seen His goodness in my life countless times. It’s impossible for God to be anything but good. It’s not just his character, it’s the very essence and substance of who He is. He can’t be anything else.”
