Nashville, TN (July 29, 2019)
Worship leader and songwriter Cody Carnes has released a lyric video for his brand new song, “Run To The Father.” This year, Carnes has released two other songs, “Nothing Else” and “Heaven Fall,” both to high acclaim and response. “Nothing Else” marks Carnes most successful single to date and his first song to debut on the CCLI chart.

“There is always an open door into the welcome invitation of the Father’s love,” Cody Carnes explains of the new song. “It’s available to every person. We accept that invitation when we say ‘I need You.’ This is an ‘I need You’ song. It celebrates the grace that never runs out and recognizes the freedom and security that’s found in the arms of the Father. I pray this song reveals the love of God for you in a deeper way today.”

This summer Carnes has been on the road with his wife and worship leader Kari Jobe on the Summer Worship Nights Tour. In the fall, he will join Casting Crowns on their Only Jesus Tour beginning in September.

Cody Carnes – Run To The Father (Official Lyric Video)

“Run To The Father” Lyrics:
I’ve carried a burden for too long on my own
I wasn’t created to bear it alone
I hear Your invitation
To let it all go
I see it now
I’m laying it down
I know that I need You

I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I’m done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I’ll run to the Father
Again and again
And again and again

You saw my condition
Had a plan from the start
Your Son for redemption
The price for my heart
I don’t have a context
For that kind of love
I don’t understand
I can’t comprehend
All I know is I need You

My heart has been in Your sights
Long before my first breath
Running into Your arms
Is running to life from death
I feel this rush deep in my chest
Your mercy is calling out
Just as I am You pull me in
I know I need You now
