Today, we witness the great collaboration of Carnes and the Belonging Co. with the song “Nothing Else.”
“Nothing Else” is a song originally written by Carnes. According to him, this song is about returning to what really matters. He shared about how the song came out,
“It came out of a moment last year when I realized my heart had wandered into prioritizing God’s hand more than His heart. I was becoming too concerned with what I was getting from Him, and disappointed when things didn’t go the way I thought they should. I don’t want my heart postured toward God that way. The week I had that revelation, this song was written. It’s already been a gift that has refueled, refreshed and reset my heart.”

I’m coming back to where we started When I first felt Your love You’re all that matters, Jesus You’re all that matters

“Nothing Else” is a thanksgiving song showing how blessed we are for having a great father like Jesus. The unending blessings He has given us are living proofs that besides all the wrongdoings we have done, he still loves and accepts us. With this, let us not forget to pray and give thanks to Him. Somehow, have you imagined yourself without Him? Well, for me, I cannot imagine life without the Lord who gave me this life.
