"He Set Me Free" By Russ Taff

[rdocmitchell]

Russ puts his heart in all his singing

[CBCWinterHaven]

does anyone know where i can find the accompaniment cd??

[hikeatrail]

Met Russ many times at Gaither shows but spent alot of time with him in a grocery store in Gatlinburg Tennessee after the annual 3 day event bout 3 years ago as he was staying in a cabin there the whole week and we have a place there too. He was so gracious and wanted us to stay and just talk. What a man of God he is...

[crazydan2279]

THEY ARE ALL GOOD. LISTEN TO THEM ALL THE TIME AND HAVE ALOT OF VIDEOS. GREAT PEOPLE TO LIFT YOUR SPRITS. DONT BREAK A LEG BY GETTING UP TO DANCE TO THIS ONE. RUSS IS ONE OF THE BEST

[maverick5891]

Who are the two young ladies doing the long high notes?

[hoover4000]

@maverick5891 the one in the red with dark hair is Candy Hemphill Christmas, and the blonde in the blue is Joyce of the brother & sisters trio The Martins

[Ldytygrrr]

This guy FEELS what he singing! He is good!!

[oriongonzaleschannel]

my freind is related to him

[hampteam]

I dont know how anyone can watch that without being moved. That is one of the best segments the Gaithers have ever done. I love Russ Taff!!

[darling1228]

Singing to exhaustion...singing until every last ounce of strength that you have is gone and you collapse to the ground drained yet filled to overflowing...it just doesn't get any better than that...that was fantastic Russ..thanks for singing it with passion!

@jmacdouglasr, thank you for posting the lyrics...it saved me rewinding this a million times!

[jmacdouglasr]

i have watched this about twenty times in a row. LITERALLY! russ taff EXCELS in songs like this where the spirit moves in fun and exciting ways. i LOVE IT!!! who wrote this song? i'm looking for the lyrics and i can only find "he set me free" by albert brumley with totally different lyrics. frustration will not set in!

[heperrinjr]

@jmacdouglasr

Here are the lyrics:

Verse 1

One day I was a’ walking. One day I was a’ talking.

One day I was a’ living deep in sin.

I wouldn’t believe Him. And I wouldn’t receive Him.

Well, I never knew I needed such a friend.

[heperrinjr]

@jmacdouglasr

Verse 2

I started seeking. I started searching.

Looking for that man from Galilee.

I started praying. Hear these words I’m saying.

Come on down from glory and set me free.

[heperrinjr]

@jmacdouglasr

Verse 3

I’m climbing higher. The load gets lighter.

Darkness has drifted far away.

On the road to glory. Gonna tell my story.

Gonna tell them what Jesus did for me that day.

[heperrinjr]

@jmacdouglasr

Chorus:

He put a running in my feet. He put a clapping in my hands.

He put a shouting my heart. He took the doubting from my mind.

My way got brighter. My load got lighter.

I started walking. I started talking. I started singing. Kept on shouting.

God said if we could believe Him. God said if we would receive Him.

Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Oh, my Lord.

Well, you really should have been there when He set me free.

[kumeneger]

bless you

[HeForeverLives]

Love it :) i love being Pentecostal :)

[loraw1960]

I absolutely love this song. And russ taff's spin on it is just what makes it even more perfect. What an annointing on this man. I've heard his story as well, and he is so real. I could so relate to his struggle. But has anyone noticed that at the very end of this video, rus goes down on his knees. he just drops. when i saw this on cable, they cut that part but it's on here. I hope it was just a touch of the sweet holy spiirt. been there, done that myself. PRAISE GOD!!!!!

[49taken]

I love Russ Taff and I love to set and listen to him sing

[SharonRiley51]

WOW!  God was certainly in the house. I remember Russ and his mother singing this in the church Joe and Ann (Russ's father and mother) pastored in Farmersville, Ca. where we grew up. Wonderful people! God Bless!

[jdhootiej]

Just can't get enough of good Southern Gospel Music On youtube..Russ does a GREAT Job as he always does..

[jesusman8888]

PRAISE GOD , PRAISE JESUS PRAISE THE HOLY SPIRIT

[tttriplettt1]

Thanks Hoover, I've seen her in several videos and she radiates the love of God in all of them. And of course Russ does.

[jezme777]

How awesome is that!

[MrJoe1951]

Hoover, who is the lady at 1:16, in the yellow Jacket. She seems nice and funny. Thanks, you have done great work. Just love Russ`s singing and all of Gaither`s work.

[tttriplettt1]

Hoover, need to be tied down with this one. One question. Who is the beautiful young lady in the yellow suit at 1:17? She has such a beautiful light on her face. Of course everyone did on this one, but she caught my eye.

[hoover4000]

@MrJoe1951 @tttriplettt1 her name is Jackie Harling, Calvin Newtons daughter. if you search on youtube you'll see i posted a video of her singing "Jesus Loves Me

[tuxitaxa]

hey!..waz the big deal.we're all brothers and sisters in CHRIST isnt it hahahaha...Praise the Lord for them what a awesome God we have...bless you all

[2chuckie]

go for it Russ you put the song in our heart-"praise the lord".

[annaleah6740]

i love everything about this song except for the high pitched note one of the ladies keeps hitting. it sounds terrible

[atonementwHm]

I love Russ!!

[MsAmericanChristian]

I love Russ Taff, too! I got to see him once when we went to see the Gaithers and I can't explain...he is jus tso real and his music comes from the heart!!!

[kathykirby]

very happy lifting song

[clydenea]

What a blessing, thank you...this is my favorite...just love him and how he does not quench the Holy Ghost and seeing the manifestation of the Holy Spirit on him, especially at the end.. This can easily keep one away from watching the television, nothing like worshiping in song.

[cataloger1kimberlya]

I saw Russ Taff in concert....fantastic!

[mhdj49]

Great song of a great singer. Thank you for sharing.

[rejhhill]

Love it!!

[Nervotica]

Thanx Hoover! What a great morning i'm having with your uploads! Praise You Father!

[graceflyer1]

It is the anointing that makes the difference and I pray it comes back strong like it used to be in Christian music!

That's the talented Buddy Greene on the mouth harp.

[micjohny]

@graceflyer1 We should pray for all these people who are in the limelight, that God preserves them till the very end.

[tennesseeink]

You can get An AMEN from me! I love Russ Taff...he lets The Spirit shine on through!

[dogwood523]

I'm Moving to Colorado Springs!!! Now That's, having CHURCH!!!! I Love the anointing of the Holy Ghost!!! And I love People like Russ Taff who are not ashamed to SHARE it in public! Can I get an amen...

[bdricky5]

Wow!!!

[GrannyD1951]

God bless Russ Taff....he put a lot into that song...as I watched him go to the floor and begin to crawl tears filled my eyes. I know how that feels.

[fusionlotus]

Its a great song. What is the name of the musician playing the harmonica? Thanks!

[hoover4000]

buddy greene. one of the greatest harmonica players ever. search for him on youtube

[blondie87tv]

His name is Buddy Greene.

[auntychelly]

yes yes yes..... He sing with the full annointing of the holy ghost. Thanks

[kinfolks2u]

Do you know what makes the difference? It's that Holy Ghost annointing! I know people that love the Lord that are NOT filled with the Holy Spirit..but HE is what makes the difference, NOT the quality of the voice!

[atonementwHm]

@kinfolks2u, amen and amen!!

[brendyganny]

@kinfolks2u that is so true. That man is filled to the brim!!!!! I love Russ Taff!!!! Glory!

[ValenciaMiranda1]

[themema]

Russ is not currently touring except for some dates with Gaither. However, he is available for solo concerts. Contact him thru his website to schedule him. I heard him on Easter Sunday morning. He sang and talked for almost an hour and was awesome. His voice and witness is stronger than ever.

[jasongilbow]

I grew up on Russ Taff and the Imperials...God has used Russ to pull me out of some deep funks with his music...some deep funks.

[hangingdog13]

I cant get enoughf of Russ Taff, His voice is one of a kind. anyone know if he is touring?

[hangingdog13]

When I get to heaven Im gona ask God for Russ Taffs singing voice. WOW what a voice he has

[smokedup213]

[lamewalking]

I love that he's not afraid to be REAL and natural. He lets go and lets God have His way.

[oldspam]

Russ had 4 brothers that sang just as good as Russ ( the younger one died 7 years ago) but none of them sang outside of there fathers Church. When his dad passed also about 7 years ago his brother Mark became the pastor.

Thanking the Lord for Russ Taff's singing.

[DeeMarks1980]

If you can't feel the Holy Ghost on this song, you're close to dead.

[basketballjonesuba]

Russ Taff and Steven Hill, are so very good ar they not...soulful and gospel...I cannot get enough of them!!

[gospelsgr8]

If it were possible to wear out this download by playing it over and over, I would have done it. I just love this song - and the feeling Russ pours into it - just fabulous. I can't get enough of his music - his love of the Lord comes through with every syllable - what a voice YEAH! Love it!!!

[jennifer4taiwan]

[sanangel54]

[joynson17]

I just love listening to Russ Taff. This song is one of my favorites, I can see he is his elements singing this song. Now if someone could give me the lyrics to this song I'd greatly appreciate it.

[sanangel54]

god can and will change us if we only believe on him.........sanangel

[gareof]

A greatly blessed musician and singer - God's gifts are awesome. Read his biography. Credit Russ's Dad & Mom & their prayers for their sons. I've got 5 gifted sons of my own & I know the only thing that will keep them is prayer...But all the Glory goes to Christ Jesus - Amen?

[holyjoe1952]

I love this song. This song is awesome.Glory Glory He Set Me Free.

[Ntebe]

Thanks for posting this great video, do you know where Russ went when he was crawling out, I think that's rather funny. Do you have the rest of the video that shows where he ended up?

[hoover4000]

he was crawling back to his seat. if you watch you'll see he tried to get several people to sing a chorus because he was tired but nobody would so by the end of it he wore himself out LOL

[buddygino]

A Beautiful song! I love you russ taff! When I hear this song, I want to met the Lord Jesus!!!!

Brother Gio.

[Praiseparty4]

I love this video, it is truly inspiring and uplifting. I just love to play it again and again. Russ Taff is so blessed and he also blesses others with his unique minitry. God is to be praised.

[chubbychoc]

wow praise god oh yeah

[davevv2000]

wow!

[wowdad7]

Hoover ,do you know what and where Russ is up to now?

[hoover4000]

i believe he is still traveling with the gaither homecoming crew, i saw him in the gaither concert I went to, he was awesome!

[themema]

He is not on the fall tour, as the HC concerts have seriously cut back on performers. Most concerts are GVB, SSQ, and just one or two others. But Russ will be back starting Nov 29th for the Homecoming Christmas tour. In the meantime, he is hopefully going to be doing more personal performances. He has a new booking agency. I hope they will be proactive in booking Russ more.

[Bobbytoo]

hoover4000 thank you so much for all your posts! These

songs are so edifying. Thank you for all your efforts!

[rnman99]

They did a good job editing this. The part right after he hugs Glen is on the Bloopers video LOL.

[marshallfootbll]

Loved the soul in this and the crowd loved it too. He has everyone on their feet just smiling and clapping and singing.  Everyone was "into it".

[wowdad7]

[wkbruinsma]
