"I See, I Know" could also be called "a song for when I feel alone." It talks about God's nearness in the midst of abuse, and how He sees and cares about what is happening, even when it feels so lonely. I hope this song can bring you comfort 💜 This song is the second song in my new album "Reborn" that follows the journey of freedom and healing from abuse. If this song touches your heart, then I'd encourage you to listen to the other songs on the album!

To the rhythm of my heartbeat Lord, Your whisper brings me peace My child, I see, I know I’m here, you’re not alone My child, I see, I know I’m here, you’re not alone You’re concerned about my suffering When my heart breaks, so does yours When I cry, you cry My tears mingle with yours In a fallen world of fallen men, People do terrible things. I don’t understand this pain, But I know You’re still good To know I’m not alone What comfort that brings To know somebody sees And cares about my pain In the midst of questions without answers I know that You are good That You love me That You’re with me --------------------------------------- #originalsong #christianmusic #abusemusichope #singersongwriter

This father-daughter duet (that I actually did with my dad 😍) talks about not submitting to abuse. In abusive marriages in religious circles, the submission doctrine is often twisted to justify control and abuse of the wife. This isn't God's heart. 💜 This song is the third song from my new album "Reborn", so if you like this song, check out the others on the album! **No triggering imagery** Lots of love, Elle Subscribe to Elle Sinclair on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ElleSinclairMusic/?sub_confirmation=1 💗 Connect with me here: https://www.ellesinclairmusic.com Stream "Reborn" album: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4PYe6eSOdLj3uK6o048ahn Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/elle-sinclair/1525337604 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/artists/B08DTLKSNY/elle-sinclair?tab=CATALOG&ref=dm_wcp_artist_link_pr_s --------------------------------------- If you are experiencing abuse, you are not alone.

For a while – Dad, I don’t know what to do He says to submit, and I do, But it’s never enough His demands are crushing to bear Darlin’, don’t submit to him harming you You don’t have to take abuse This isn’t God’s way Darlin’, don’t submit to sinful demands He’s not your God, just a man Let God be your God. Submission Has become a heavy chain Twisted Scripture used to justify His oppression and hurtful ways He feels entitled, So is cruel when I don’t yield Bullies and crushes, controls Til I’m on my knees Beneath his rule Your man is called to love you tenderly Sacrificially, as Christ loves the church Respect you, affirm you And cherish you, care for you With humility, lay down his life in love --------------------------------------- #christianmusic #originalsong #submission

This song of light and hope could also be called "A Song for When I Feel Triggered." 🌿☀️ ** No triggering imagery ** Anyone who's experienced abuse knows that the healing journey can feel great one minute, and like you've made so much progress, and then the next minute something triggers you and it feels like you're broken again. I wrote this song during a time when I was really struggling with feeling triggered pretty often, and needed to remind myself of just how far I had come. And that I really was healing! Even now as I am pretty far along in my healing journey, there are still times when I get triggered and feel broken and discouraged, and I find myself singing this song to myself, both as an encouragement and also sometimes as a prayer, too. I hope this song helps you as well! This song is the 6th song in my new album "Reborn", so check out the rest of the album for more songs to encourage your heart!
