There Was Jesus - Zach Williams and Dolly Parton
Soundtrack of Your Life


Theme: What songs was I listening to last year?

There was Jesus - Zach Williams and Dolly Parton


I love seeing and hearing Dolly Parton putting her stamp on Christian music. I also like that she lets Zach Williams take the lead in this song and as it builds to the end she steps up and belts it out as only she can do. She really is a powerhouse.
There is strength in the words and this past year needed those words to build me up and keep me strong. I was doing a teaching job that was new to me and it had the added component of teaching online as well as in person. I often worry that I am not giving my students the best of me and this year was extra challenging because I was trying to do it in two very different ways.

I get a chuckle out of the fact that he is sitting down and she is standing up and they are close to the same height... though he is a little taller still.

Here are some of the lyrics:

Every time I tried to make it on my own
Every time I tried to stand and start to fall
And all those lonely roads that I have travelled on
There was Jesus
When the life I built came crashing to the ground
When the friends I had were nowhere to be found
I couldn't see it then but I can see it now
There was Jesus
In the waiting, in the searching
In the healing and the hurting
Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces
Every minute, every moment
Where I've been and where I'm going
Even when I didn't know it or couldn't see it
There was Jesus.
