Careful Paul! how can you say who is living for the Lord? God speaks to each man through the Spirit. You can't hear what He says to me, you can't hear what He says to Russ Taff. Russ is certainly being used by God, and none of us are living as righteous a life as Jesus did. We are called to forgive and live our own life. "Work out your own salvation, in spirit and in truth."
this is a Holy Ghost song, an anthem for the chosen. written by a warrior who knows how to fight the enemy, by praising the Lord. i cant just watch this video, i end up on my knees, weeping and praising the Lord with russ. i too am a warrior and have had many battles since sept 1976, and what brother russ is saying in this song is true, satan the accuser is a defeated liar, we the chosen are children of the King! amen!!!
I would like to post and recommend this video - but not with that unfounded accusation ALWAYS SITTING RIGHT THERE AT THE TOP OF THE COMMENTS- you dis-respect the man and the song. Who is 'the accuser of the brethren'?
A late answer to paulbortolazzo : who are we to judge someone's life and especially if it's worth of God or not ? Those who judge shouldn't be saying in the other hand that they believe in God, because only God can be judge of whether we have a "righteous life" or not.
Russ Taff went through some spritual struggles as a young man per his own words but now you can see the Lord shining through him more than ever before! God Bles him and I LOVE this song!!
The anointing of God certainly abides upon this dear brother. The awesome things also is that the song is so scriptural.
So many songs are out today that sound good but are unscriptural.
I also am so impressed that this mans ministry remained pure. No stories of him running off with other women due to his fame.
Thanks Russ, and Thank you Jesus for this dear brother and the talent you have blessed him with. Unlike so many others he is using it to the glory of God.
Needed to hear this today. I'd love to see him (have heard him do it) do "I still believe" (starts off by saying "Been out in a cave for forty days") ... thanks for posting!
Russ singing "praise the Lord" can send your spirit into the glories! I love to hear him sing it. The anointing of Holy Spirit just goes all through and around you when you listen.
I'm a Biblical Literalist, which is why I've sold all my possessions, and distributed all of my money to the poor (I'm on a public computer). As you know, this is what Jesus said was needed to have eternal life. If you own any property, you are not a follower of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 19:17-26) I've also renounced war and become a pacifist, since, as you know, Jesus allowed himself to be crucified rather than resist violence, and this is what it means to take up the cross. (Matthew 5:38-48)
@Valerian1 That is a very good thing, but be careful to guard against pride. The true way to our Father is to suffer in silence so that our sacrifices may be done only for His sake. As Jesus said "Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, so that you may be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in Heaven" (Matthew 6: 1)
Good for you.I sincerely mean that.However you already have your reward for your deed. One needs to have the spirit of the Publican who smote himself on the chest and said he wasn't worthy.Not "be like me" I pray God does reward you in the coming Kingdom..
@Valerian1 Remember Priscilla and Aquila? The church met in their house. 1 Corinthians 16:19. The Bible has many good things to say about them and their ministry. Owning property is certainly NOT sinful.
@Valerian1 Ive heard some wild preachin from people...But sir i only ask that you do as as the holy ghost leads YOU to do and let the holy ghost lead otheres in the path that god has spoken throu the holy ghost to each person..my vises are mine and your are your own, your path is your as well
@Valerian1 "I'm a Biblical Literist" You have much to learn. "If you own any property, you are not a follower of Jesus Christ" You are very arogant. Your mind is fixed on the things of this world, though you deceive yourself that it's not. If you loved the Lord Jesus Christ with all that you are, mind, body, spirit and heart, you would not be so puffed up.
Well done for missunderstanding the word of God, you have took up your own man made cross and not that of the Lord. It's not black and white
@Valerian1 Caution. I'm not saying God hasn't told you to do this, because there are those He has. But by believing there are criteria (by this, I mean things WE do) to enter heaven, you are treading firmly into works-based faith. And scripture makes it clear that what we do matters little, if at all. It is what He, Jesus the Christ, the Lamb that was slain before the foundations of the world, DID that matters!
@Valerian1 Another thing to consider, the scripture you refer to (Matthew 19:17-26) is where Jesus was giving a specific command to the "rich young ruler". Do you also have hatred for your direct family? Because, taken exactly literally, Jesus said "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26)
@Valerian1 why, oh why, do fundamentalist Christians (and pretty much the entire GOP) vote to give the biggest tax breaks to the most wealthy Americans, deny affordable healthcare & services to the poor, build more prisons, and quickest to send our (poorest) young people to war? God have mercy on this depraved Nation!
@Valerian1 You might do well to know that Jesus spoke in Parables. And you might also do well to research what a parable is. Then you will understand why you not really being a literalist but instead an antagonist. Just saying....
So what Jesus requires of one man is standard for everyone in the world? I personally believe that is what Jesus felt it took for the rich young ruler needed to do to be saved. Jesus may not require everyone to sell all their goods and give to the poor but as for this young man He knew that his possessions meant more to him than eternal life.
Classic Imperials sound and message! Brings me back to my college days some 26 years ago when the Lord allowed me to discover and embrace contemporary Christian music! Thank you for posting this great anthem of Praise and Worship of the King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus Christ...
CHORUS: Praise the Lord.He will work for those who praise him Praise the Lord. For our God inhabits praisee. Praise the Lord.And those chains that seem to bind you Serve only to remind you. As they fall powerless behind you. When you praise him. Satan is a liar and he wants to make us think That we are paupers, when we know ourselves We're children of the king. So lift up the mighty shield of faith For the battle must be won Remember Jesus Christ has risen So the works already done
Russ Taff Praise The Lord When you're up against a struggle That's shattered all your dreams And your hopes been cruely crushed By Satan's manifested schemes. And you feel the urge within you To submit to earthyly fears Don't let the faith your standing in Seem to disappear
what this guy doesn't have in range like phelps he has in passion. Guy Penrod has range and passion too just different than Russ. Russ really knows how to give it his all w/o grandstanding it. It is sincere. I love phelps too, he came a long away in terms of emoting but w/o his range it's just not as passionate as Russ or Guy
We all make mistakes and go throughout tough times, so if you are downing Russ because of this or because he did secular music at one time, you are totally ignorant of God's grace. You need to let go and not talk about someone you don't know personally. @paulbortolazzo
Um at @paulbortolazzo, Russ has made his mistakes in life and gone through tough times, but who hasn't, and if you haven't figured that out, than you are completely ignorant to the mercy and grace of God. He doesn't use people who are lost, but those who can sing these songs with experiences of the past that make the song they are singing meaningful.
Praise the Lord! This song has always been one of my favorites and I have sung it in church many times. The message here is so very powerful and true. When we praise the Lord satan is powerless behind us!
AWESOME song!!!! Just listen to Anthony Burger tickle those ivorys, he is greatly missed!! This is one of Russ Taff's greatest songs!!!! Thank you HOOOVER4000 for posting this video!! Thank you Russ Taff for sharing your talents with the world!!
Thank you so very much for posting this and all the other great clips! I just bought 5 DVD's and would like to know which DVD this one is on. I think the greatest thing se can do is stay in the spirit and read our Bibles and be joyful. That way others will want to know how se do it in this increasingly sick and tired and messed up nation and world we live in!! Praise the LORD! And thank you hoover4000, may He bless you richly!!
Thank you so much for posting this clip! What DVD is this from? I just love this song and had forgotten how much! God bless you for your faithfulness and for Russ Taff's life and gifts form our LORD!
I don't think I have ever thanked you for all the wonderful music you have posted on YouTube. It is such a blessing to find your favorite songs on here. God bless Hoover4000.
His signature song without a doubt +25 years ago and still sings it with impact! The flesh may be getting older, but the annointing doesn't! God bless you ,Russ!
I used to do the Fabulous Song back in the 60's and I am going to "ressurrect" this year for Warsaw Camp. Thank God For this kind of music that "Stands The Test Of Time"
Such PASSION! Now that is what happens when Christ is formed in us. I just love the Lord. I am happy to be saved. No matter what the circumstance is in my life, I will continue to praise the Lord. God bless.
I just wanted to say that I remember this song from when I was just a little girl going to church, it is so powerful that it made a lasting impression on me and I started singing it the other day for no apparent reason and had to look it up!! I am so happy that I found it on here, Russ Taff is truly a blessed man! Praise you Lord for all eternity!!!
@hoover4000 Dont worry about this persons opinion of Russ Taff and dont give this person a second though! No one is supposed to judge..God knows Russ Taffs' heart....no one else! If you love this song and the way he sings it, that is all you need! It is meant to praise the Lord anyway, not for man!
if u know your bible then you should know, "thou shall not judge" proverbs 18:7 "a fools mouth is his own destruction" matthew 12:37 "for by thy words thou shall be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned".
@hoover4000 please just remove that negative comment-otherwise it will just stay up there at the top. please please please, and dont reply to this one either
@hoover4000 The first time I heard Russ sing this song back in 1979, he sang it with the Imperials. I had to pull the truck off the road and just cry and worship for a while! According to Russ' testimony, he had a long road to finally "come home" to Christ. And, I'm amazed how God can use a man like Russ, who at the time of the original recording of this song, to reach through all of that and grab my heart strings....and eventually Russ' heart strings, too. God is good. I love Russ Taff...
@hoover4000 Ignore him. Not worth it. He's just someone who seems to enjoy conflict. God is the only one who knows a persons heart towards him. Who are we to judge who is/isn't living a righteous life.
@paulbortolazzo what makes u such an expert? Do you know Russ Taff? U don't know what kind of life he is leading and frankly it is none of your business. I'll bet Russ Taff is closer to God than you will ever be. Go post negative comments someplace else and stop ruining the song for everyone.
@paulbortolazzo I have had the honor of meeting Russ Taff...I wouldnt be so quick to JUDGE! He has more than told his story...Gods people deserve forgiveness, not ridicule for sins of YEARS ago...I love his song...He is a genuine, sweet man of God....
@paulbortolazzo That's actually a really good question. What about Russ Taff makes you think he isn't living a righteous life? I know he's been through periods where he wasn't, but at this time he seems to be as wholly committed to God as anyone.
@paulbortolazzo Why would you include "especially Russ Taff" with your comment? So maybe he hasn't lived a perfect life! Who has? Maybe he's done some things along the way that reflected poorly on his character. So what!! We all have! It's irresponsible of you to post degrading comments about someone's character and then just leave it hanging there like you've done us all a big favor.
This song has blessed me from the first moment I heard it way back in the day. I got to see the Imperials with Russ Taff at Night of joy at Disney World and was so blessed. It's also nice to see a song writing legend Dottie Rambo in the group along with Terry Blackwood right behind him. Keep on blessing folks with your music Russ. Praise the Lord for people who will step out and sing His praises.
I heard a preacher the other day on the radio say that God will make you suffer so that you will love Him. That is is child abuse! Don't ever accuse God of causing your problems. God is not a child abuser! God loves you and me.
Hey there hoover4000! Thank you for posting this powerful and amazing performance. It brought me to tears of joy again today! I have the DVD too. But now I can send this video to my friends and share it via e-mail and Youtube. I live in Idaho Springs, CO. God bless you...
just lost the job i was hoping so much to receive, even though i am so angry right now it is ok, because when a door closes another one opens up, this must mean that God has a better plan for me
Tori, Maddie, and Charlotte thanks for sharing Bro. Russ with the world. What a great Christian musical voice! May God continue to birth more powerful songs out you Russ and Tori. God bless you all.
Tori, Maddie Rose, and Charlotte thanks for sharing Bro. Russ Taff with the world. What a powerful Christian voice. May our Heavenly Father continue to birth more songs out of you, Bro. Russ. God bless you all!

there is much truth in this song isn't there.
the enemy so much wants us ...as children of the King...
to think we're everything we're not ...
to live like we're everything we're not....
I hate all the lies I've ever believed. Hmm..thank you Christ

I just wanted to say that I remember this song from when I was just a little girl going to church, it is so powerful that it made a lasting impression on me and I started singing it the other day for no apparent reason and had to look it up!! I am so happy that I found it on here, Russ Taff is truly a blessed man! Praise you Lord for all eternity!!!

@hoover4000 Dont worry about this persons opinion of Russ Taff and dont give this person a second though! No one is supposed to judge..God knows Russ Taffs' heart....no one else! If you love this song and the way he sings it, that is all you need! It is meant to praise the Lord anyway, not for man!

if u know your bible then you should know, "thou shall not judge" proverbs 18:7 "a fools mouth is his own destruction" matthew 12:37 "for by thy words thou shall be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned".

@hoover4000 The first time I heard Russ sing this song back in 1979, he sang it with the Imperials. I had to pull the truck off the road and just cry and worship for a while! According to Russ' testimony, he had a long road to finally "come home" to Christ. And, I'm amazed how God can use a man like Russ, who at the time of the original recording of this song, to reach through all of that and grab my heart strings....and eventually Russ' heart strings, too. God is good. I love Russ Taff...

@hoover4000 Ignore him. Not worth it. He's just someone who seems to enjoy conflict. God is the only one who knows a persons heart towards him. Who are we to judge who is/isn't living a righteous life.

@paulbortolazzo what makes u such an expert? Do you know Russ Taff? U don't know what kind of life he is leading and frankly it is none of your business. I'll bet Russ Taff is closer to God than you will ever be. Go post negative comments someplace else and stop ruining the song for everyone.

@paulbortolazzo That's actually a really good question. What about Russ Taff makes you think he isn't living a righteous life? I know he's been through periods where he wasn't, but at this time he seems to be as wholly committed to God as anyone.

@paulbortolazzo Why would you include "especially Russ Taff" with your comment? So maybe he hasn't lived a perfect life! Who has? Maybe he's done some things along the way that reflected poorly on his character. So what!! We all have! It's irresponsible of you to post degrading comments about someone's character and then just leave it hanging there like you've done us all a big favor.

This song has blessed me from the first moment I heard it way back in the day. I got to see the Imperials with Russ Taff at Night of joy at Disney World and was so blessed. It's also nice to see a song writing legend Dottie Rambo in the group along with Terry Blackwood right behind him. Keep on blessing folks with your music Russ. Praise the Lord for people who will step out and sing His praises.

I heard a preacher the other day on the radio say that God will make you suffer so that you will love Him. That is is child abuse! Don't ever accuse God of causing your problems. God is not a child abuser! God loves you and me.

@agentleman121
If you are not chastised by God, you are not His son.
Through "problems" we grow.
Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Heb 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
