Christian performers don't generally get any time on the main stage at the Grammy Awards, nor are they given screen time during the televised show, yet their wins shed light on the popularity of worship music and are worth exploring.
One of the most noteworthy wins during Sunday night's show was "There Was Jesus," a collaboration between singer Zach Williams and country legend Dolly Parton.
The duo beat out Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes and Elevation Worship ("The Blessing"), Lecrae and Kirk Franklin ("Sunday Morning"), We the Kingdom ("Holy Water") and Tauren Wells and Jenn Johnson ("Famous For (I Believe)") in the "Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song" category.
