House Of Worship Revives Tim Hughes’ Classic “Here I Am To Worship” With Cody Carnes.
House Of Worship has announced a new collaborative version of the modern hymn “Here I Am To Worship,” set to arrive everywhere on Friday, September 19. The fresh take pairs the song’s original writer, Tim Hughes, with GRAMMY-nominated worship leader Cody Carnes, with pre-saves now live via the collective’s Instagram announcement.

First released in 2001, “Here I Am To Worship” has become a staple across churches worldwide, topping CCLI charts and enduring as one of the most widely sung worship songs of the past two decades. Hughes has often traced the song’s origins to reflecting on Philippians 2 and Christ’s humility—one reason its simple, vertical lyrics continue to resonate.
The upcoming single arrives amid the broader House Of Worship initiative—an all-star, multi-artist project uniting legacy anthems with iconic voices. The campaign launched with a high-profile duet on “Shout To The Lord” by Darlene Zschech and CeCe Winans and points toward a full-length House Of Worship album slated for January 2026 via The Fuel Music.
For this new rendition, Hughes is joined by Carnes—known for congregational anthems like “Firm Foundation (He Won’t)” and for co-leading global worship moments alongside Kari Jobe and Elevation Worship—bringing a cross-generational dynamic to a song already woven into Sunday setlists around the world.
House Of Worship summed up the energy around the drop in its teaser: “This is a House Of Worship!” With pre-saves open now, churches and fans alike can mark their calendars for September 19 and get ready to revisit a classic through the lens of two of today’s most trusted worship voices.
