“This last year has been so hard for all of us,” Carnes shares. “These songs originally released right as the pandemic was hitting the United States, and it just felt so timely to have the messages available for people. I pray these songs have brought the hope of Jesus to people in such a fearful time. Today I am excited to share nine new versions of these songs with the deluxe album."

“Run To The Father” was originally released last March and featured popular worship songs "Nothing Else," "Christ Be Magnified," and the title track.
