Nashville, TN  —  The name El Shaddai—a Hebrew name for God meaning “God Almighty”—has long symbolized strength, provision, and unwavering certainty. Now, vocal force, songwriter, and pastor San Franklin brings that message to life with her powerful new single, “El Shaddai.”

Co-written and produced by Franklin and John Matt Clark, “El Shaddai” is a deeply moving worship ballad that speaks to faith in the midst of unsure moments in life.

“I wrote El Shaddai in about 5 minutes, not knowing that my producer would have the last verse to summate the entire song – El Shaddai we’re trusting you,” Franklin explains.  “This song is personal to the uncertainties that we as believers are facing in EVERY area of life.  However, one thing I’m certain of is that whatever needs to be done, His name can do it! El Shaddai, TAKE CARE OF US”!

Franklin will be making appearances on select dates of Enon Music Group’s 2026 I STILL BELIEVE Tour.  The tour will feature Franklin alongside label mates Zak Williams & 1 AKORD, Jamar Esaw & Triad 4 Christ, and Dr. Alyn E. Waller.  San will be performing on upcoming tour dates in Harrisburg, PA, on May 22, and in Philadelphia, PA, on May 29, with more tourdates to be announced.
