"There Was Jesus" is a cover version of the Zach Williams and Dolly Parton hit by Contemporary Christian Recording Artist, Shawn Thomas, and inspirational singer/songwriter, Shanti Lashae. The arrangement and vocal renditions are a unique combination of Thomas' pop/rock background and Lashae's soulful/bluesy style. The music was arranged by both Thomas and Lashae, and the song was recorded and produced by Thomas.
