“Dolly Parton’s best duet ever – ‘There Was Jesus’!

No matter how famous or rich she became, Dolly Parton has always stayed close to everyday people. Her real, down-to-earth nature makes her not only a great artist but also an amazing person.

Growing up in deep poverty, Dolly knows what tough times feel like. This humility and kindness show in everything she does. Today, she is still one of the top queens of country music, and her recent projects have been impressive.

A special song released in 2019, “There Was Jesus,” proves her lasting talent and heartfelt music. Christian rock singer Zach Williams co-wrote the song. It tells the story of finding faith during life’s hardest moments.

Dolly and Zach created beautiful melodies and powerful lyrics that touch listeners deeply. After finishing the song, Williams knew he wanted Dolly to sing it with him. His team reached out to her manager, and when Dolly heard the song, she loved it.

A few weeks later, they met in the studio to record. In a press statement, Williams said, “It was an amazing moment to record a song with Dolly Parton. Working with her was a real honor. She makes you feel like you’re the only one in the room. She is so real and kind, and I can’t wait for people to hear that in the song.”

The song became popular fast and topped Christian music charts. “There Was Jesus” was Dolly’s first number-one hit on Christian Airplay and Christian AC charts.

Zach likely didn’t know at the time how much the song would mean to people. It has touched many who have faced tough times and felt alone.

Every note Dolly sings shows her humility, reminding us of all the music styles she’s mastered, including two adult contemporary number-one songs. Her gratitude to her fans is a lovely reminder of the community that has always stood by her.

Dolly Parton has always been open about how her Christian faith has influenced her success. “Believing in God is essential,” Dolly says. “You have to believe in something bigger than yourself. We grew up knowing that with God, anything is possible.”

From a young age, Dolly was involved in the small mountain church where her grandfather preached. She started singing hymns and playing guitar in church services at six years old. Dolly has always spoken freely about her faith and her bond with God.

“People say, ‘I’m surprised you talk about your faith,’ and I say, ‘Why not? That’s who I am. That’s what keeps me going,’” she says.

Many also remember when Williams and Dolly performed the song live for the first time at the 53rd CMA Awards on November 13, 2019.

Their music video has won many hearts, with some calling it the best duet Dolly Parton has ever done.
