Dolly Parton and Zach Williams have crafted a powerful tribute to faith that soared to the No. 1 spot on the Christian Billboard charts, reminding us all that it’s never too late to chase our dreams.
No matter how famous or wealthy she became, Dolly Parton has always stayed connected to the common man. It’s this genuine, down-to-earth spirit that makes her not just an incredible artist, but an even more remarkable human being.
Coming from extreme poverty as a child, Dolly understands the struggles of life, and that humility and kindness shine through in everything she does.
Even today, Dolly continues to reign as one of the queens of country music, and her recent collaborations have been nothing short of spectacular.
Williams knew right away
One such gem is “There Was Jesus,” a powerful song released in 2019 that serves as a testament to her enduring talent and heartfelt artistry. Co-written by Christian rock musician Zach Williams, this emotional track beautifully captures the journey of finding faith amid life’s toughest challenges.
Together, Dolly and Zach weave enchanting melodies and soul-stirring lyrics that resonate deeply with listeners. Williams knew right after they finished writing the song that he wanted to see if Dolly Parton would be interested in recording it with him. His team reached out to Parton’s manager, and when she heard the song, she fell in love with it.
