The Imperials - Be Still My Soul

According to an article by Sandra Brennan, The Imperials, have been recording and performing since 1964.

She adds:

"Over the years, 18 different singers have come and gone in the Gospel band, including such legends as Russ Taff, Paul Smith, and Gary McSpadden. Other Contemporary Christian Music pop performers such as Jonathan Pierce also got their start with the Imperials."

Some of the band's greatest popular success came in 1977, when at just 22 years of age Taff joined the band, and they recorded a number of highly regarded songs and albums with him from 1977-1981.

Today you'll find a "music-only" video embedded below of The Imperials' beautiful song, Be Still My Soul, with Taff on lead vocals, recorded in 1980.

Taff knows something about earthly trials and has spoken about his difficult childhood — sharing that his dad was a verbally abusive alcoholic and his mother beat him. 

Later he battled his own addiction to alcohol — and when combined with his childhood trauma — he felt far from the man God had called him to be.

Thankfully, God is faithful, and when Taff was at the end of his ropes, he discovered that God had been working in his life and he was ultimately set free from his emotional pain and addiction.

Be Still My Soul - Lyrics

Surrounded by the cares of life
Situations rise, they press against my soul
Desperate thoughts have blocked me in
Feels like I may lose control

A voice from somewhere inside of me
Brings comfort and fills my heart with courage
And lets me know everything will be alright

(I hear Him say)
Be still my soul and know that He is God
(He is God)
Stand quietly
He is the Lord
If God is for me who can be against me?
(He is God)
Be still my soul
He is the Lord

Teach me Lord to stay with You
When my emotions try to rule me
Remind me Lord of who I am
Show me what You want me to be

In His great strength and confidence
Knowing that You are with me
I'm not afraid of tomorrow
What waits ahead

(I hear Him say)
Be still, my soul and know that He is God
(He is God)
Stand quietly
He is the Lord

If God is for me who can be against me?
(He is God)
Be still my soul
He is the Lord

Be still my soul
He is the Lord 

He is the Lord!

✝   Romans 10:9-10

9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 

---------------------------------

If you've made this decision—believed it in your heart and confessed it with your mouth—let God speak to you by reading the Bible—and seek out fellowship with others who also believe.

Pour out your heart to God in Prayer (simply speaking to Him in reverence)—asking Him to reveal Himself to you and to provide for your needs.

Life in Jesus is the best decision you will ever make.

God Bless You!
