Christian and country music legend Carrie Underwood is familiar with chart-topping hits, platinum albums, and dozens of awards. But this small-town artist who has racked up incredible fame hasn’t allowed her success to change her roots. Underwood recently joined the worship team at a Tennessee church to sing “Goodness of God.”
“With my life laid down, I surrendered now / I give you everything, oh Lord / your goodness is running after, it’s running after me,” sang Underwood.
Carrie Underwood Heads to a Country Church To Help Lead Worship
Underwood grew up going to a small church in Oklahoma and quickly began singing on a regular basis at that church. Her faith has been a constant throughout her successful country music career.
She released her first Christian album, “My Savior,” in 2021. The project was a collection of the artist’s favorite hymns, including “How Great Thou Art,” “Amazing Grace,” “Just As I Am,” “Because He Lives,” and “Victory In Jesus.”
It’s fitting that the music star headed to her home church, Rolling Hills Community Church, which has multiple locations in Tennessee, to help lead worship. People find Rolling Hills to offer “inspired worship, genuine community and passionate ministry.” After more than 20 years of ministry, the church sees that “God is very much at work.”
Backed by a small choir, Underwood sang “Goodness of God” by Jenn Johnson and Bethel Music. The song was originally produced in 2019 and has been re-recorded by various artists, including CeCe Winans, Shane & Shane, and Rhett Walker.
I love your voice
You have led me through the fire
In darkest night you are close like no other
I’ve known you as a Father
I’ve known you as a Friend
And I have lived in the goodness of God, yeah
‘Cause all my life you have been faithful
And all my life you have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
Churchgoers were surprised by Underwood’s appearance at church Sunday morning. Some captured video, and all worshipped along with Underwood.
“Carrie led worship @rollinghillscommunity church this morning,” one post read. “This was a sweet surprise and it blessed me so much. It’s amazing to hear her sing about God as her passion is very evident. I love this @bethelmusic song!”
