We've heard him sing with The Imperials and The Gaither Vocal Band, as well as being a solo artist. With over 30 years in the Gospel music industry, that makes for a lot of great music to choose from and it begs the question -- which Russ Taff (solo) songs are the best?
"We Will Stand"
Spring House Music Group
We first heard this great song in 1994 as a title track. Nine years later it made a repeat performance on The Best Of Russ Taff and was still so beloved that Avalon teamed up with Russ to release the song again in 2008 on their album Another Time, Another Place: Timeless Christian Classics.
- You're my brother you're my sister
So take me by the hand
Together we will work until He comes
There's no foe that can defeat us
If we're walkin' side by side
As long as there is love
We will stand
"I Want To Change"
Word
From the GRAMMY award-winning Walls Of Glass, "I Want to Change" resonates with a cry that any of us can relate to.
- But I see my selfish motive and my inconsistencies
And block upon block the wall was built complete
Please come and break the wall down
and show this captive heart how to be free
"Pure In The Heart"
Word
Another song from the GRAMMY award-winning Walls Of Glass, "Pure In The Heart" is as upbeat as it is timely -- even 25 years later! Some messages just bear repeating over and over again.
- And when I gave myself to Him, before my eyes
My whole life was purified
Blessed and happy are those who are pure in the heart
"Unto The Lamb"
Word
A third song from the GRAMMY award-winning Walls Of Glass, "Unto The Lamb" is full of power and passion, and Taff's vocal strength is amazing.
- Thou oh God art mighty
Holy is thy Name!
"I Cry"
Myrrh
"I Cry" comes to us from 1994's We Will Stand. This song is all about pain and the only one who can truly heal it.
- I Cry
And You're the one who hears me calling
I fall
So easily but You're there to catch me
Say the words that heal me
I'm safe when I'm with You
You touch my eyes and I can see
