Dolly Parton Wishes Fans A Happy Easter with a Stirring Version of "He's Alive"
Country music veteran Dolly Parton celebrated Easter by sharing with fans a stirring, solo performance of "He's Alive" on her Instagram page. Parton first cut "He's Alive" for her 1989 album White Limozeen. The song is Parton's take of an old Don Francisco's Christian classic.
Parton started the video discussing social distancing on the holiday in which Christians observe the resurrection of Jesus. "We don't have to go a building or church to worship God. The kingdom of God is within," said Parton. "This year, we're gonna kinda stay around the house a little bit, right? But that doesn't mean we can't worship in the same way that we should."
Parton put the situation in perspective, alluding to the Christian belief that Jesus Christ was crucified on Good Friday and then rose three days later.
"Somebody said the other day, 'Oh, we've had a rough week,' " Parton said. "Just think about the rough week that Jesus had, and look how well that turned out for us.
