Cody Carnes – Take You At Your Word | Share Worthy Song

“I’ll take You at Your word, if You said it I’ll believe it.” With that bold declaration, Cody Carnes and Benjamin William Hastings crafted Take You At Your Word as a worship anthem that calls us back to the foundation of faith: God’s promises never fail. Released in 2022 on Carnes’ God Is Good! album, the song is both joyful and resolute, pairing driving rhythms with lyrics that remind us that God’s Word is not fragile—it’s unbreakable.

Carnes has shared that this song was born out of a season of learning to trust God’s voice above the noise of fear and uncertainty. He and Hastings wanted to write something that would help believers push past doubt and cling to the truth that God is a promise‑keeper. That’s why the lyrics are filled with declarations like, “You said Your love will never give up, You said Your grace is always enough.” It’s not just poetry—it’s scripture put to melody.

Cody’s own journey makes this song even more powerful. He once admitted he wasn’t sure he could ever write worship songs, but God called him to step out in faith and lead. From serving at Gateway Church to co‑writing global anthems like The Blessing, his life has been a testimony of what happens when you take God at His word. That’s why this song doesn’t sound like theory—it sounds like lived experience.

For me, Take You At Your Word resonates with the times I’ve wrestled with doubt. There were moments when I wondered if God’s promises really applied to me, when my circumstances seemed louder than His voice. But this song reminds me of Numbers 23:19: “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?” That verse is the anchor—if He said it, He will do it.

The chorus also echoes Isaiah 55:11: “So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire.” That’s the assurance we cling to—God’s Word doesn’t just inspire, it accomplishes.

What makes this song share‑worthy is its simplicity and power. It’s the kind of anthem you can sing in the car, in church, or in the middle of a storm, and it still carries the same weight: God has never failed, and He never will.

If you’ve been hesitating, waiting for proof before you trust, let this song be your reminder. Don’t wait for the perfect moment—now is the time to take Him at His word. Step into the promises, sing them out, and live like they’re true. Because they are.
