Who is here because of the SWU video?
Me.. I just looked Russ up as I loved this song when I first got saved in 1984 ❤
I remembered his name from late 80s early 90s music
Yep. Amazing to think he was in so much turmoil at the time of this performance and for so many years later
Yes, me too. It brings tears to my eyes to hear his story and I’m so thankful for God’s mercy and grace to see him healing.
Me! I was raised on all this contemporary Christian music growing up in the 80s. When I saw his name it instantly all came back. I still remember all the words. I cried with him watching the SWU episode. He gave himself & his talent so freely to us, all while suffering from so much shame. 💔 I hope he knows what his music has meant to so many❤
Still much loved and shared in 2023, this song has to be considered one of the all time greatest Gospel songs of all time . Thank you Russ Taff.
After a vicious gang rape in 1982 and the church judging me for the crime that was perpetrated against me, it was this song....this song that got me through! It still drops me to my knees in praise and thanksgiving.....I will praise Him!
Cynthia Ashley The fucking church is ridiculous...that pisses me off. I'm an atheist...but I don't think believing in God or spirituality is wrong. The church though, is definitely wrong. They cause so much undue pain and suffering for so many.
Cynthia Ashley PTL!!!
I had a friend who was gang raped and it is horrible the way churches sometimes push people right back out the door, Cynthia. It happened to me as well when I was told I should stay with my abusive ex-husband and fled from him. I was not welcome in the church because I left my husband.
Thankfully...God heals all wounds and thank God you looked to Him (Who loves you and is perfect) rather than the church (people) for healing. Through Jesus Christ God surely heals us!
Cynthia, I am sorry that happened to you...they victimized the victim ....they should have circled around you and I ask forgiveness for what the Church sometimes does....I actually had a dream about this type of situation and what would I do as a Pastor.
I would circle the wagons and protect.....The Church today is not necessarily what the Church was supposed to be. There is a lot of history but there are those who are willing to love. I am so sorry
I am So sorry this happened to you and I am so glad have found victory over what has happened, Praise the Lord.
When God took our youngest daughter home at the age of 39, this song sung by Russ Taff, ministered to my heart like not other song. Knowing she was in His presence, helped me to praise even though it was the most painful time in my life.
💗
Bless your soul.
Amen
@@shirleymeade9113 dear one my heart is with you
This song by the Imperials got me through 18 months of depression as a young pastor. I sang it almost every day. With tears
This song is as anointed today as when it was being written. The Holy Spirit surely inspired every word, every note. And I am grateful. ❤
A MEN
This song and Russ Taff really are anointed. Do you notice how many times he says, "Remember, Satan is a liar." I feel like God is speaking directly to me! Amen!
i was saved in 1983 and this was one of the first contemporary songs i heard and now at 47 yrs. old it still brings tears as The Spirit of God moves within and without me and helps me
still as it did then...................in my time of need! His Hammer........
What were you saved from?
Russ did the best version of this song with the Imperials
Russ wrote this in 1983, I believe. I was a teenager in the 80’s, and his music has been a balm for me for a really long time. It’s truly blessed me.
a very needed Christian anthem for today! the Holy Ghost is all over this song!!!
This song saved my life in 1985!!!! I'll forever be thankful to Russ and the Imperials....
I just heard this song for the first time today......I'm so glad to read that this same song,saved your life......I praise the Lord for your life. Wow. You listened in 1985....and I'm just hearing in 2021 Amen and Amen.
Russ - a true star who went through a lot - thankful he has overcome sooo much!
This is my favorite song by him. Wonderful song from the past I remember this.
Here again❤❤❤
Still a cool a full of truth song 40 years after i first heard it as a Jr in high school
In 1983, before we had TV, I heard this song, and I was able to sing this song along with a guitar player, in front of my small church, Belvedere Chriistian Church in Harare, Zimbabwe. It was such an uplifting song then and even now in June, 2018! All praises to Him, the Almighty God! Hannah Doraisamy
what an anointed song!
one of the great voices of our time.
Wow, Russ has such a good voice, and it has gotten better with age. He is such an inspiration.
very strong anointing here....something powerful.
Russ Taft you are a blessing to everyone thank you for making my day a better one
This is a BIG song God gave to me in 1986!! It is fun to see a video of a young Russ but this is by far NOT my favorite one of this incredibly anointed song! Don't let this video deter from searching out this song!!
paul and silas proved this so literally
our God is so merciful and powerful
but mostly just full of love for those who will praise His Holy Name
thank you Jesus
Praise Him for He is Worthy , praise Him !!!!
I'LL FOREVER REMEMBER THE Jesus event in Pennsylvania where I saw your ministry live for the first time. This song and We Will Stand were so saturated with the presence of the Lord and His liberty I was awestruck!
Thank you for your obedience and allowing the Lord to use you.
This song is timeless!
THIS is the Russ Taff I remember!!!❤
Yes! Amazing!
Halleluhia!!!! Praise the Lord!!!!
yes, his voice is amazing!
So many Blessings coming from the talents of these Wonderful Singers....God Bless you all for sharing the Good News through Gospel Music. from the Island of Tonga, South Pacific
20 years later. Russ your impacting my life with this song. thank you so much I cannot explain it
Wow. Definitely old-school Russ Taff. One of his albums from the early 90s is among my favorites.
Did you know this song was wrote and released in 1977 ? He does this song with the IMPERIALS IN 1979 ON THEIR LP
Hallelujah God, glory to Your holy name!
I met the song 'Glória a DEUS' in the 80's, here in Brazil, in the voice of FERNANDINHO in memorian. This song took and takes Hundreds of MILLION people to the presence of 'FATHER NOSSO'. Thank you very much, city of São Paulo, Brazil
Amen
Seems to me did a great job staying present, engaging with people and commanding the stage, making it all seamless while sending signals (behind his back) to the band to get into the key needed where they normally sang this song...
As a former Christian and now atheist, I can’t help but still love the music. This version started in the wrong key. Russ looks miffed chanting “Satan is a liar” while giving dirty glances at the keyboard player/music director.
You do know that if you die this way YOU WILL SEE GOD FACE TO FACE And you will NOT SAY ,, YOUR NOT THERE GOD
@@theodoreritola9758 if that’s true, then I will indeed believe. But there’s no good reason to think that it is true.
That’s because the Holy Ghost is speaking to you - wanting you hear this message✝️
simply amazing, Dave
Thank You Lord, and we will praise You Lord...
Bless him Lord!
Amen!
When I was a little girl this song would make me cry
amazing!
GOD bless you!!
I love it
wish i had this song back in 1983 or 1985
Praise the Lord was wrote and Released in 1977 ?. He did this song with the IMPREAILS ON THEIR 1979 LP
🇫🇮♥️♥️♥️

INCRÍVEL!!!
This song reminds me of New Bekel Church. My God Emor!!
Eric Battle u
praise the lord
I just wanted to respond to this quote although it was six years ago. edcasselles said' "He can't sing. He spends most of the song 'talking' the words and when he tries to sing, his tone is all over the place. Just goes to show the wonders that a modern studio can do for recordings. The first minute of the song he spends more time talking about Satan than the Lord. What's up with that?" Ed, it is obvious that he forgot the words........... did you ever do that? No, cause you probably only sing sitting in your bathtub not in front of recording cameras and with several hundred people listening and watching right in front of you. You obviously have little to no musical ability or you would know that Russ Taff has one of the most incredible vocal mechanisms given by God in modern times and it is amazing what he has done with it. By the way how many Grammys do YOU have. Let me guess. 0. Did I get it right. This was me being controlled by the way.
He also sang the first verse in a different key than usual
and in the midst of the concert he started the verse melody line a third higher
because it felt wrong in his throat. He then freaked and forgot the words. Now,
the case can be closed and Russ T. still stands as one of the greatest vocalist
in the history of the modern church. Deal with it “Jealous Ed.” Do you even sing, Ed? Throw some of it out here and let's have a listen. I just get fed up with people with lesser talent criticizing the real deal. I'm done now.
Dante Star Dante I know you sang with the Imperials. You are a blessing and I thank you for standing up for Russ Taff. Russ has made this song his and does awesome....TY for what you have done as well blessings to you
Wow Dante, the love of Jesus shines through your post.... Not.
Don't be a hater. You were controlled? By what?
Dante Star has
the great thing about singing and praising the lord is -
when the person singing has the anointing -
they do not have to be the best singer
the do not necessarily have to be in tune -
God will use that person's obedience and
their praise/worship
to touch his people
and to reach the lost -
.
see these two lines from the song -
1 - Praise the Lord, He will work through those who praise Him
2 - Praise the Lord, for our God inhabits praise"
.
it's too bad that "edcasselles" missed it....
.
The churches aren't doing what Jesus said to do???they oppress the poor and bare false witness against them at every turn in the US and around the world.Don't worry,pray for them and forgive them as Jesus commanded you to.I used to play this album during the day to my children.We lived in Fulda,Germany for my husband was stationed there.It was a blessing to my soul.I first recieved the Holy Ghost at a bible study with my Korean sister in Jesus.Denise T.
este es mi himno de batalla de ministerio kairos
@BINATANGPINOY I don't really care - But can you give me the biblical quote that that talks about dresses and pants. After 53yrs of church, I guess I've missed that one. Or is that one of those "I just feel it" things.
"The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reasoning." - Voltaire, Dictionnaire Philosophique (1764)
God's only true religion is to care for the widows and the fatherless. Let philosophy choke on that.
Hi Kaus! And as Voltaire was on his death bed he suddenly felt his need of Christ. Just like the "dying Thief" in the Bible! Hallelujah! James
Might he been drinking before this concert? Anyway glad of course Russ is well n strong today.
Not anointing- simply nostaglia
really? Didn't Jesus come to die on the cross for us? It also says in Deut. that if a female is touched during her time of bleeding that she and the man that touch her be put to death. Do you follow that also?
Ruach HaKodesh
During the first verse it seemed like Russ was waiting for the band to get in the right key. This is definitely not the best version of this great song.
I'm sorry that you were being judged.I feel that God knows his sheep.I know God doesn't do to the poor what the church does.I was told by God come out and be you separate and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you.Believe Jesus and his word.He'll never leave you,nor forsake you.You encountered false brethren and sisters.Trust me I also encountered the same.
Doesn't it also say in Deut that is a woman is touched while bleeding then she is put to death? and the man to be punished? Do you follow that as well? How many women have you put to death because of that? BTW, pants weren't invented until way after Christ died on the cross. Jesus died for our sins so we wouldn't have to continue to make sacrifices and go by the Old Testament. The New Testament is the law of God that we go by. Men didn't wear pants during the time that the Bible was prophesized
It can be called legalism. It was a law of God in the Old Testament.
Here’s a guy that didn’t even know his own song, or sing it like the recording.
The band was playing the song in the wrong key. He was trying to signal to them to get on the right key. In my opinion, he did great considering the circumstances.
Wrong key.
@BINATANGPINOY
The background singers are women wearing skirts. What is your problem? Learn to listen to the Spirit and leave legalism behind.
The first minute of the song he spends more time talking about Satan than the Lord. What's up with that?
The band was on the wrong key and he couldn’t get to the chorus of the verse until the fixed it. They really messed it up.
Gostei não, ele tirou toda ORIGINALIDADE da música e cantou com tom mais baixo.
A música ficou morta!
He can't sing. He spends most of the song 'talking' the words and when he tries to sing, his tone is all over the place. Just goes to show the wonders that a modern studio can do for recordings.
The problem was that the band was playing the song in the wrong key. He couldn’t sing it because they were in the wrong key. Not his fault. True professionalism to pull it off like he did.
Amen!
