"There Was Jesus" lyrics
"There Was Jesus"
(feat. Dolly Parton)
Every time I try to make it on my own
Every time I try to stand, I start to fall
And all those lonely roads that I have traveled 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, in the hurting
Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces
Every minute, every moment
Where I've been or where I'm going
Even when I didn't know it
Or couldn't see it
There was Jesus
For this man who needs amazing kind of grace
For forgiveness and a price I couldn't pay
I'm not perfect so I thank God every day
There was Jesus
There was Jesus
In the waiting, in the searching
In the healing, in the hurting
Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces
Every minute, every moment
Where I've been or where I'm going
Even when I didn't know it
Or couldn't see it
There was Jesus
On the mountains
In the valleys
There was Jesus
In the shadows
Of the alleys
There was Jesus
In the fire, in the flood
There was Jesus
Always is and always was, oh
No, I never walk alone
Never walk alone
You're always there
In the waiting, in the searching
In the healing, in the hurting
Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces
Every minute, every moment
Where I've been or where I'm going
Even when I didn't know it
Or couldn't see it
There was Jesus
There was Jesus
There was Jesus
There was Jesus

Zach Williams explained the following about "There Was Jesus", "This is the song that's really about just the reflection. I'm looking back at twenty years ago when I got no idea that God was in the moment. [...] But looking back now I can see that—you know—He had His hand in everything I was doing."
Speaking about the collaboration with
Dolly Parton, Zach Williams told,
"I remember her walking into the room and she told me—you know—she said, 'I heard this song from the first verse and half the chorus...' she said, 'I took my headphones off and I wanted to sing on this song with you.' For me that was just another cool moment of the record, just to have the honour and privilege to record a song with Dolly Parton."
