Carrie Underwood Performs During Worship Service at Local Nashville Church
Since her breakthrough song “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” Carrie Underwood has been open about how her faith is an essential part of who she is.
On Sunday (Aug. 11), Underwood led a time of worship music, joining the worship team at Rolling Hills Community Church, a local congregation in Franklin, Tennessee. Underwood and the worship team performed the contemporary Christian worship group Bethel Worship’s “The Goodness of God.” The song, featuring Jenn Johnson, reached No. 15 on Billboard‘s Hot Christian Songs chart in 2020.
The passionate worship song features lyrics including, “From the moment that I wake up until I lay my head/ Oh I will sing of the goodness of God/ All my life you have been faithful/ And all my life you have been so, so good.”
Of course, Underwood has included songs of faith throughout her career, including “Temporary Home” and the Grammy-winning 2014 song “Something in the Water.” In 2021, she released My Savior, an album of classic gospel hymns. The project featured artists including CeCe Winans on “Great Is Thy Faithfulness.”
“It’s been such a blessing to make music like this, inspirational music that is near and dear to my heart,” Underwood said of the album in a statement at the time. The album debuted atop both Billboard’s Top Country Albums and Top Christian Albums charts.
During her career thus far, Underwood has also appeared on Michael W. Smith’s 2014 The Spirit of Christmas album, on the song “All Is Well,” and included the original song “Sweet Baby Jesus” on her 2020 Christmas album My Gift. She also contributed harmony vocals to the song “Something Greater,” on CCM singer-songwriter Matthew West’s album All In.
