On a stunning September day in 2001, Tammy's soul mate and husband of 11 years, Trent Lenderink, dove into the blue waters of Jamaica and landed in the arms of Jesus. There, alone on the beach with nothing but faith to hold on to, Tammy began an unimaginable journey. In the five years since Trent 's death, Tammy has—step by step—gathered up the courage to walk through the doors God has opened. Through tears, she's shared her and Trent 's story of love and loss, as well as her music, before thousands at Women of Faith and REVOLVE conferences. In early 2005, Tammy began to write new songs—not so much about the road she's traveled as about where she stands today. I See Beautiful is the hope-drenched result.
From the first beat of ”Real Life,” the album's opener, to the last note of “Pray,” I See Beautiful —which Tammy co-produced with Tim Miner delivers a colorful collection of ballads and triumphant anthems that sail beyond the confines of 2000's well received Set You Free. Long-time fans will hear what they've always loved about Tammy's music: contemporary pop, danceable, memorable, straight-up songs full of hope and truth.
“ I See Beautiful really captures so much of what's important to me, in life and in music. I love the fun, dance songs and the energy of wrapping yourself up in God's life-giving truth. And I can't imagine my life without worship. All these songs are my way of responding to God's sustaining grace in my life.” Tammy says, “God has given me a gift. He gave me a voice, but not just to sing. He gave me the ability to speak and communicate, and this is the big story He gave me to tell. He trusted me to tell it all for His Glory and to share the Hope that I know is real. I want others to know that same Hope that I have found in Him. Whether it's through a new book or a new CD, I want my days to matter and I want to make a difference. I will be faithful with my life, and I will choose to see beautiful through it all.” Make room in your music department for this must-have album from Tammy Trent today!
