Released in 2019, *There Was Jesus* was inspired by Zach Williams’ journey through life’s struggles. He felt the song needed a legendary voice, and Dolly Parton was the perfect choice. Upon hearing it, Dolly immediately connected with its message and agreed to join.

Zach praised the experience, saying, “Working with Dolly was an honor. Her unique ability to make you feel like you’re the only person in the room is truly remarkable.” Their voices blend beautifully, creating a heartfelt and emotional performance.

The duet became a major success, earning Dolly her first No. 1 on the Christian Airplay and Christian AC charts. Fans hailed it as one of her most powerful performances, especially after their moving live CMA Awards rendition.

Dolly’s deep-rooted faith has always guided her. Raised in a small mountain church where her grandfather preached, she grew up singing hymns. “Through God, all things are possible,” she affirms, crediting faith for her success.
