About “Firm Foundation (He Won’t)”
Carnes wrote the song with Chandler Moore and Austin Davis, who also produced the single. Carnes said that in such a shaky season it was burning in his heart to write a song declaring what Jesus teaches in Matthew 7, that the world can be in chaos outside our windows, but when we build our house on Jesus our foundation is secure. He released it as a standalone single in December 2021, and Maverick City Music issued a version featuring Moore and Carnes a few weeks later.
