Parton revealed in an interview with AmericanSongwriter.com that she had wanted to record "He's Alive" ever since she heard it come across a small town’s radio waves.

During that time, she was with her husband making their way back to Nashville from California.

“I always intended to do it because it moved me and I hadn’t had the opportunity because I wanted to do it with somebody that was Christian," Parton told the website.

“You have to really feel something and be passionate about it, and believe in it to do it…the song meant a lot to me,” she added.

For her 2003 album, "For God And Country," Parton also covered the song "Ballad of the Green Berets." The song was originally recorded by Barry Sadler in 1966.
