- Official music video for Todd Smith and the Oasis Chamber Choir - "O God Give me Strength" featured in the "Insanity of God" movie & soundtrack. In theaters nationwide Tuesday, August 30th. One night only!
I am from Ukraine. Two of my great grandfathers were executed by the communists for their faith. Thank you for remembering the horrors of communism and faithfulness of God’s servants in the midst of it.
Невозможно слушать песню без слёз! Это время - молодость моей бабушки и моего дедушки! Они также служили Христу и рисковали всем ради Него не жалея себя!
Да укрепит Господь всех, кто сегодня отдаёт свою жизнь за Христа! А вас пусть благословит Бог за Ваш труд!
❤
Meine Großeltern haben das auch überlebt. Mein Opa war auch 7 Jahre im Gefängnis wegen seinem Glauben an Jesus. Meine Oma mit vielen Kindern Haus und Landwirtschaft und Arbeit allein. Gott wir es ihnen vergelten. Ich habe die ganzezeit Gänsehaut und muss weinen. Im Himmel warten sie auf uns Grüße aus Deutschland.
I have cried so many times while listening to this blessed version of this song. It is an honor to suffer for
Christ. Oh what a joy it will be when we finally meet with our Savior and be reunited with all of those who were persecuted. Deffenetly encouraging! Blessings
Looking at His disciples, He said:
”Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.
Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets” (Luke 6:20-23) ✝️🙂
I keep listening to this song over and over.
Thankful to God for Todd's gift and passionate performance, yet humble.
I'm speechless ! Very humbling
Me too and i like to listening loud when i drive :)
Olesya Tsymbalyuk amen
Thank you Todd for this wonderful song and video of encouragement. I tried to show Insanity of God in my church, but to no avail because they said it was two hours long. So I passed it around and only got to two elders and it stopped. The persecuted church is not talked about or prayed enough here in America. Sometimes I think we only worry about how many people we can pack in our churches. Oh Father, wake us up to be true followers of You through Your Son Jesus Christ. I pray for these brothers and sisters and that they will be bold and their captors will come to know You. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
John 15:19-21
19If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. 20Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well. 21But they will treat you like this on account of My name, because they do not know the One who sent Me
Amen!! We are so blessed in the states. We need to BE BOLD and share our faith more especially in these final hours! MARANATHA!! 🙏
Amen Karen. The LORD has been so good to me and the few brothers that are spreading the Gospel. Praise Jesus for making us bold and stepping out in faith no matter who sees us.
Thank you for thinking of my country victims...My great grandfather was excecuted for his faith as well as three brothers of his
So sorry, thank you for sharing about your grandfather.
I love this song so much

Thank you so much for this song. There are probably many Slavic people (including me) thinking about the experiences of their parents and grandparents. Please do more :)
Hallelujah!! God will always prevail!!!
Hello, I don't know why, but I was blocked from replying to you on another thread.
Your reply to me...
William Kang
First off, thank you for responding. Also- glad we both believe there is a God and don't have to debate that.
I'm gonna save some time for both of us going for tit-for-tat and hit a bigger issue. What is your view of Scripture? And by Scripture, I mean the 66 books of the Bible, NT and OT. All of the truth I derive from my faith comes from that source.
-hitting on this topic also hits on views of fear, homosexuality, God's justice, and what sin is, that we've previously discussed.
Can you explain what you mean by God being too big to fit into one "religion"?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but its sounds like you have a "religious belief" but are not associated with "organized religion". If neither, where exactly do you put yourself? What do you believe? I'll let you explain.
Again, brainwashing; I'm still not following how you're determining who's more culpable of being brainwashed based on their associated beliefs. What would you define as being objective, or rather what is the lower end of the brainwashing mechanism?
My reply to you...
+William Kang
*"What is your view of Scripture?"*
Referring to 66 books as "Scripture", is incorrect. They are in fact made up of many scriptures.
In short, my view of the scriptures, is that they are one of many tools to help individuals get closer to God.
Everyone comes away with different interpretations on every aspect of those 66 books; at times one's interpretation can change through things like personal tragedy, experience, bias, influence ETC.
For a relevant example...
If one is taught or even told that some part of the scriptures are referring to something like homosexuality, those are outside and even worldly influences on the scriptures.
A perfect example of that, is the story of "Sodom and Gomorrah". For hundreds of years most if not all Christians believed that the primary sin that got S&G destroyed was homosexuality. Now, that belief has taken quite a turn, from believing that is was one of their many sins, to not one of their sins at all.
Not one Jew/Israelite/Hebrew in almost 4000 years taught that the sin of "Sodom" was homosexuality, or anything like it. Not one living Bible Scholar believes that homosexuality had anything to do with it, and the scriptures prove that homosexuality had nothing to do with it. So, for hundreds of years, people were taught and believed a lie based entirely on some people's misinterpretation based on their own personal mental issue with homosexuality.
This is nothing new, people have been trying to use the scriptures to justify their various issues for as long as the scriptures have existed.
*"Can you explain what you mean by God being too big to fit into one "religion"?"*
God is beyond multifaceted.
Example...
There are many who believe if you do not believe that Jesus is your savior, you will not get into Heaven.
Christians believe Jesus was God in human form, so the belief should be that if you do not believe in God you will not get into heaven.
That is also flawed.
God has never (most of all after His experience of living as one of us) required anyone to profess that they believe in Him, He just guides us while also allowing us full freewill. God wants us to love one another, and take care of each other, more so than He wants us to believe in Him. He is not as uptight about that as some want you to believe.
The God of the scriptures is the same God of all Abrahamic and many other religions, and he wants the same for all of us.
When one looks into all major religions and even philosophies, there is almost if not always one deity/figure that is the primary or strongest. That is God. Christians use the trilogy, and some act as if they are different God's, when they are just parts of God. There honestly is no such thing as the Son and Holy Spirit, there is just God. Think of it in this way, God is an ocean, things like the Son, and Holy Spirit are drops from that ocean.
If everyone on the planet stopped worshiping God, but loved one another, as they love themselves, or even as the other person would like to be loved, and took care of each other, I believe God would be thrilled. Some would think that would be a form of idolatry, but all of us were created in God's image, we are all the children of God, so it's impossible for it to be idolatry. In fact, it would be us worshiping God in the way I believe He wants.
If you study religions/philosophies like Hinduism and Buddhism, they are by far being more followers of the scriptural aspects of Christ's commandments, than many Christians, and most if not all "Conservative Christians". In my experience, the people who consider themselves to be "Conservative Christians", are far more like the Pharisees and Sadducees that got Jesus killed than they are willing and or capable of admitting.
There are many levels of brainwashing, and everyone is brainwashed on some level. There are everyday aspects like interacting with a certain group of coworkers. Sometimes they can be more attractive (not sexually) because of mutual likes and or dislikes.
A more relevant example is...
A child raised by conservative Christians who force their beliefs on that child, is far more likely to become a conservative Christian. That is brainwashing from the early years.
Then there are adults who become brainwashed.
Perfect examples of this are the many cults that have existed.
Now, for me to ask you some questions...
Do you believe that some have misused the scriptures because of their own personal mental issue/s with others?
Do you beleive that Abrahamic religions would act like a lightning rod for people who have a personal mental issue with homosexuality?
Do you beleive that some if not many Christians have been brainwashed into becoming Christians?
Do you beleive that the claim that any and all same gender sex for any reason is a sin, could possibly be just another of many misinterpretations?
Here is another example...
In the King James Version, this verse among others translated the word to "sodomite"...
(1 Kings 14:24)
King James Bible
And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
These versions translate the word to things like "male and female" shrine prostitutes...
New International Version
There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land; the people engaged in all the detestable practices of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
New Living Translation
There were even male and female shrine prostitutes throughout the land. The people imitated the detestable practices of the pagan nations the LORD had driven from the land ahead of the Israelites.
English Standard Version
and there were also cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations that the LORD drove out before the people of Israel.
New American Standard Bible
There were also male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD dispossessed before the sons of Israel.
Holman Christian Standard Bible
there were even male cult prostitutes in the land. They imitated all the detestable practices of the nations the LORD had dispossessed before the Israelites.
International Standard Version
They even maintained male shrine prostitutes throughout the land, and imitated every detestable practice that the nations practiced whom the LORD had expelled in front of the Israelis.
NET Bible
There were also cultic prostitutes in the land. They committed the same horrible sins as the nations that the LORD had driven out from before the Israelites.
New Heart English Bible
and there were also male shrine prostitutes in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD drove out before the children of Israel.
GOD'S WORD® Translation
There were even male prostitutes in the temples of idols throughout the land. The people of Judah did all the disgusting practices done by the nations that the LORD had forced out of the Israelites' way.
New American Standard 1977
And there were also male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD dispossessed before the sons of Israel.
Jubilee Bible 2000
And there were also cult prostitutes in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the Gentiles which the LORD had cast out before the sons of Israel.
King James 2000 Bible
And there were also male prostitutes in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
There is so much more in all of this, and it has been going on for as long as the scriptures have existed. Why are people like you so surprised about it this time?
God so obviously loves diversity within all of His creation, homosexuality is a great aspect of that.
I will have some answers for your questions, I promise. (not sure why you were blocked either, btw). But I have I one more for you before I answer. Where do you derive your truths? Rephrased: what is the source of your wisdom and revelation of who God is, what He expects, etc.. ?
From what I've heard you say, it sounds like you use the Bible and perhaps other sources. Or- you're interpreting it differently than I. If you could give some clarity, I'd appreciate it.
+William Kang
Question...
*"what is the source of your wisdom and revelation of who God is, what He expects, etc.. ?"*
Answer...
First and foremost, God!
Thank you for such a moving rendition of this song Todd! May the Lord continue to use you for His glory... He has truly blessed you with a powerful voice.
Wow so beautiful and inspiring!
Here are the lyrics in Russian:
Мой путь как у других не украшен цветами
Пушистые розы на нем не растут
Мой путь весь усыпан одними шипами
Терновника иглы на нем лишь растут.
Иду я и зря и немного жестока
И трудный мне кажется путь впереди
Но голос в душе моей не так далеко
Уверенно шепчет не бойся, иди.
Вот голос тот с неба меня приглашает
«Усталый измученный путик земли,
Ограда святая тебя ожидает,
В небесную славу быстрей ты войди!»
О Боже, Боже, дай мне силы
За ближних душу полагать?
И в сердце вечно да могилы
Врагам обиды все прощать.
Пусть камни в грудь мою бросают,
Не признавая чувств святых,
Пусть ненавидят, проклинают, -
Я душу положу за них.
Там не "Иду я и зря и немного жестока " а, Иду я, изранены ноги жестоко
Спасибо!
слова зачем исковеркала?
голос в душе моей где-то далёко
награда святая тебя ожидает
Thank you so much for this song!!! My great grandfather was murdered out in prison, Soviet Union 1937... He was a pastor.
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church. Your great grandfather is enjoying the presence of Jesus and worshipping the Lamb. He was counted worthy to suffer for Christ and now he's enjoying Him forever. God bless you brother and stay strong in the fight of faith.
The most powerful music video I have ever seen. ALways moves my heart.
I've been going through a tough week with a friendship on the verge of breaking. This song broke me down completely, so much passion and I can feel God's presence in it. I shed tears every time I hear it.
boy here in the states we take our faith for granted. Father Forgive me Please
That would have been a sight to see. Beautiful song and story. Praise the Lord for this!!!
Спасибо за пение и видео!
Слова Библии остаются актуальными:
Написано: «Ради Тебя убивают нас всякий день и смотрят на нас, как на овец перед бойней» . Но мы одерживаем величайшую победу над всем этим благодаря Тому, Кто полюбил нас.
Римлянам 8:36-37 НРП
I can't read Russian, but I immediatly understood the last words: Romans 8:36-37: 'As it is written, 'For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.' No, in all these things we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through Him who loved us.' ESV (I hope you read this, and if not, I hope that other people read this!)
....just woke up of my dream ,that we're captured,and the war about to start ,checked my msg,and found this song ,it's brought my memories from past ,,,,,,,,
Thank you and praise God!
А МОЯ БИБЛИЯ НА ПОЛКЕ ПЫЛИТСЯ, А В ТЮРЬМЕ КАЖДОЕ СЛОВО - ДРАГОЦЕННОСТЬ!!! БОЖЕ ПРОСТИ!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful! Praise God!
Such an amazing and touching song.God bless you
Translation from English to Russian:
O God Give Me Strength by Todd Smith & The Oasis Chamber Orchestra Oh God, God, give me strength
To lay my soul down for those close to me (my neighbors)
And in my pure heart to the grave
To forgive all wrong doings of my enemies Let them throw stones at my chest
Not recognizing the feelings of saints,
Let them hate, curse -
I will lay down my soul for them
О Боже , Боже, дай мне силы
Уложить мою душу вниз для тех, кто рядом со мной ( мои соседи )
И в моем чистом сердце до могилы
Простить все неправильные поступки моих врагов Пусть они бросают камни в моей груди
Не признавая чувства святых ,
Пусть ненавидят , проклятие -
Я лег мою душу для них
O Bozhe , Bozhe, day mne sily
Ulozhit' moyu dushu vniz dlya tekh, kto ryadom so mnoy (moi sosedi)
I v moyem chistom serdtse do mogily
Prostit' vse nepravil'nyye postupki moikh vragov Pust' oni brosayut kamni v moyey grudi
Ne priznavaya chuvstva svyatykh ,
Pust' nenavidyat , proklyatiye -
YA leg moyu dushu dlya nikh
Beautiful song!!! It touches soul.

My great Grandpa was German ministering in Russia. They took 20 pastors that night and killed them in 1937. God help us be faithful to You through the End.
Great Song! Great History! Alan - Brazil
I love this song im Jewish but born in family that spoke russian
This song best one
English lyrics below (or an attempt at them). Translation care of Google with a couple lines cleaned up. Русские братья и сестры: пожалуйста, помогите с переводом, если сможете. Мой русский язык плохо.
My way, like others, is not lined with flowers,
Fragrant roses along it do not grow.
My way is strewn only with thorns,
Blackthorn needles along it do grow.
I go, my legs cruelly wounded,
And the way ahead seems difficult to me.
But from somewhere far away a voice to my soul
Confidently whispers: "Do not be afraid, go."
Here a voice from heaven invites me:
"Tired, weary traveler of the earth,
A holy reward awaits you,
Hurry and enter into heaven's glory. "
Oh God, God, give me strength
For fellow souls to believe
And in my pure heart until the grave
To forgive the resentment of my enemies!
Let them throw stones at my chest,
Not caring for the pain of the saints,
Let them hate and curse me -
I'll lay down my life for them.
O God, God, give me strength,
I'll lay down my life for them.
Carrie Wallestad thank you so much!
Awesome!

Amazing story, amazing movie. Hope you don't mind that I used this song in a video, the two things I do best are knife throwing and video editing and I wanted to spend some time and put together a tribute for Dmitry. Very inspirational story I enjoyed the movie quite a lot will be looking for the book as well.

Does someone have the Notes of this Song?
O GOD GIVE ME STRENGTH
Arranged by Todd Smith, Bernie Herms, and Melodee Devevo
Verse 1:
My way, as others, is not decorated with flowers,
fragrant roses do not grow along it;
my way is among the thorns where blackthorn needles only grow.
Verse 2:
I walk, with battered limbs, and it seems a difficult road ahead.
But the voice in my heart somewhere deep inside,
confidently whispers: "Do not be afraid, come!"
Verse 3:
That's the voice of heaven that invites me:
"Tired, exhausted traveler, holy reward awaits you,
in heavenly glory, come quickly!"
Verse 4:
Oh God, God, give me strength
To lay my soul down for those close to me (my neighbors)
And in my pure heart to the grave
To forgive all wrong doings of my enemies
Verse 5:
Let them throw stones at my chest
Not recognizing the feelings of saints,
Let them hate, curse -
I will lay down my soul for them

Слава Богу! А теперь сделайте песню, пожалуйста, про христиан Востока, которых режут повстанческие отряды (террористы), сформированные американским правительством. Ведь это актуальнее на 50-100 лет. И мы вновь прославим Бога! "Нас убивают, а вот: Мы живы!"
Is there any movie based on this story ??

Its about how many of our forfathers in russian tundra got executed and tortured for believing amd not giving up on Gods promises.
Can someone please post Russian lyrics
Can someone please translate the words into English?
nostranger2u There are lyrics of two songs here.
Todd sings:
My journey, like others, is not decorated with flowers.
Fragrant roses do not grow on it.
My path is strewn with thorns;
Only the needles of Blackthorns grow.
I'm walking, feet violently wounded,
And the path ahead seems impossibly difficult.
But somewhere distant, a voice
Confidently whispers, "Don't be afraid, go forth"
That voice from heaven invites me,
"Oh weary, tortured traveller of Earth,
A holy reward awaits you!
Soon, enter the glory of heaven!
The men's choir (prisoners) sing:
Oh God, God give me strength
To give my life for others
And with a heart pure to the grave,
Forgive the painful wrongs of my enemies.
Let them throw stones at my chest,
With no regard for the feelings of the saints.
Let them hate, and curse me--
I will still give my life for them!
Todd finishes:
Oh God, God give me strength! I will lay down my life for them!
it sounds pretty but i dont understand what it says wish it had subtitles
staceygal1984 There is a translation here in the comments.

My father was in a Soviet lab med prison in Ukraine and President Reagan released him. In the 80s, he gave hundreds of names of kidnapped people in the United States who were killed for organs in USSR. Imagine what these Democrats are now creating in those Soviet labs
WORST ELVIS COSTELLO COVER EVER
amazing
