Worship leaders and songwriters Cody Carnes and Kari Jobe Carnes have released their new collaborative worship song, "Doxology (All Praise)," marking their first new song together in several years. The release offers a fresh interpretation of one of Christianity's most beloved hymns, expanding its familiar words with six newly written verses.
Originally written in 1674 by Thomas Ken, the Doxology has been sung by generations of believers and remains one of the most recognized expressions of praise in Christian worship. With their new recording, Cody and Kari build upon this enduring hymn, adding verses that explore six significant biblical themes: Creation, the Cross, the Resurrection, the Holy Spirit, Christ's Return, and Revelation.
The couple shared that their inspiration came from the hymn's original purpose of encouraging believers to worship God beyond formal chapel services and into their everyday lives. They hope the new verses will help people reflect on God's character and everything He has done while offering praise in every season of life.
The single's artwork also reflects its connection to Christian history and tradition. It features Agnus Dei, Cordero Místico (c. late 18th century), a work by renowned Puerto Rican painter José Campeche y Jordán.
Throughout their careers, Cody and Kari have contributed songs that have become meaningful declarations of faith for churches around the world. One of their most recognized collaborations is "The Blessing," which has resonated with congregations internationally.
Most recently, the duo received the 2026 GMA Dove Award for Inspirational Recorded Song of the Year for their rendition of "The Blessing," featuring world-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli.
Although both artists have continued releasing music individually and participating in special collaborations, "Doxology (All Praise)" brings them together again for a new musical expression rooted in the church's longstanding tradition of worship.
