If you need a moment of calm - take a deep breath and listen to this song based on Psalm 23. God, our Good Shepherd, restores our soul.

This song was written at the end of a long season in my healing journey—a season where I was finally ready not only to release my abusers, but to move forward in life without what they had done continuing to cast a shadow over me. For a long time, I couldn’t get out from under the weight of their actions or the lasting effects it had on my life. I hated them. I didn’t want them to receive salvation—I wanted them to suffer at least as much as they had made me suffer. But God had a better way. And in the end, I loved God more than I hated them, so I chose to follow His lead. What began as a reluctant willingness to pray for my abusers slowly turned into forgiveness. And eventually, God did something I never expected—He gave me a desire for their salvation. He worked powerfully in my heart during this season, and when this song was written, I knew I was ready to fully and completely release them. I don’t know if any of my abusers will ever hear this song or read these words. But if they did, I would want them to know this: God loves you. God wants you. And while what you did caused deep harm and stole my voice for a long time, you did not get the final word. I still sing. Because God heals—even the deepest wounds caused by the most vile sins committed against me. What was meant for evil has been redeemed and used for good. I have been restored. I have been made whole.

To my abusers – I release you. Not because you ever tried, but because my Savior’s mercy runs deeper than my pride. Part 4 of 4 from my song “Still I Sing (Letter to My Abusers)”

To my abusers – Jesus bore the weight of your sin, and I’ve forgiven you. Part 3 of 4 from my song “Still I Sing (Letter to My Abusers)”

To my abusers – God doesn’t want you lost and in shame, He wants to rescue you Part 2 of 4 from my song “Still I Sing (Letter to My Abusers)”

To my abusers – you stole my voice indeed, but you could never silence God. He’s everything I need.

This song was years in the making. Thomas Roy "Suicide Tom" Watkins died from Congestive Heart Failure in the early morning hours of April 1, 2003, just 6 days shy of his 45th birthday. He lived in Watsonville, California, and I lived in Capitola. I ran a karaoke show around Santa Cruz County, and Tom set up the shows for me. He got his nickname by letting the karaoke DJs pick his songs. He did songs like “Barbie Girl” and “Man I Feel Like A Woman”, and people loved it. Imagine hearing the man in the image on the screen singing “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”. He brought life to every show. And then, he got sick. I wasn’t familiar with the symptoms of Congestive Heart Failure back then, but I knew he wasn’t simply suffering from a flu. So On March 21, 2003, a buddy and I took Tom to the ER at Dominican Hospital. The doctor had an x-ray and EKG done, and told Tom his heart was enlarged. Tom told him that enlarged hearts ran in his family. I now know that Congestive Heart Failure can be diagnosed with x-rays and EKGs, because my mother had it, and as her care giver, I was with her when they told her about that, and about her A Fib, and Coronary Artery Disease. But Tom’s doctor said nothing about Congestive Heart Failure. He stuck to the enlarged heart narrative - which was deceptive, since the autopsy showed that his heart was two and a half times the size of a normal heart. But then, Tom didn’t have insurance; so he was turned away in his hour of need. Ten days later, he was dead, and he didn’t have to be. He could have been saved, if only for a short time. And this was a Catholic hospital letting that man go to his death. Of course, the doctor may not have shared that ideology. Either way, even though they swept it under the carpet, and never answered for this crime, they still have to face the ultimate judge. They can’t hide from Him.

Through the power of God, anything is possible. You only need faith to rise above this earthly chaos, and touch grace.

I wrote this song for the young women (and men) that I've known throughout my life, who felt like they didn't matter, that they had no purpose. Not all of them survived their depression. Some have left this world, but some are still with us, having had their own "come to Jesus" moments, as I did. Having been on the edge myself, wondering if the cliff was high enough to end my suffering, or low enough to cause more, I know how it feels to see yourself as invisible and purposeless. God took that away from me, and gave me a reason to believe in Him, and in myself.
