The harmony is so beautiful and unsurpassed by none!

maravilha!!!

Awesome!

HalleluYah❤️‍🔥 my whole body vibrated, when he opened his mouth and began to praise, wow outstanding🔥🔥🔥

Listen, this is a very high quality product with which to bring a vital message to young believers, and you probably all made less money than you hoped! I really appreciate what you guys produced and how you gave of yourselves in this way! May you be blessed in return!

Matthew Ward he’s what complements the vocals and makes all the difference 👍

One of the most powerful songs.

That is some phenomenal bass playing, you’re amazing! I know it’s been years, but thank you for posting!

I am grateful to say that I am a born again Christian and have been since I was 19.......I am grateful that we can gather together to worship in the presence of the one and only true almighty God the father God the son and God the Holy Spirit three in one!!!!! whether it’d be church congregation choir where two or more are gathered in his name there he will also be! to God Be All The Glory!!!!! Great Things He Hath Done!!!!!! and all hail king Jesus!!!!! the king of kings and the lord of lords!!!!!!!However folks if you don’t know Christ as your savior then it burdens my soul to think that you are headed for a terrible place called Hell where the Bible says the fire is never quenched and the worm dies not! Folks you are not promised tomorrow! If you want to know how to be saved from this horrible reality then please by all means don’t hesitate to comment right back so I can lead you to the savior! 2 Corinthians 6:2 clearly states “now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation!” And Hebrews 3:15 clearly states, “Today if you hear his voice don’t harden your hearts! it is not me but the Holy Spirit that I pray reveals to you the truth of his precious gospel......John 3:16 says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes on him will not perish but have everlasting life! V 17 says then V 18 says whoever believes on the son is not condemned but whoever does not believe on the son is condemned already because he has not believed on the son whom God has sent! Also Acts 16:30-31 what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house I am not threatening anyone but just warning them what will happen if they reject this precious gift of eternal life! Christ died a horrible criminals death! He was beaten brutally mocked spit upon and endured countless hours of torture pain for all of our sins! Ppl go to hell because they reject that pardon for their sins! And Jesus is saying to them in Matthew 25:41 depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels! Hell was only prepared for Satan and his angels! It is not God who threatens anyone it is the craziness of rejecting the free pardon of salvation! It’s like if you’re in court you’ve committed a crime say you murdered someone! Now if you say to that Judge hey I know I’ve done a terrible thing of murdering that person but I hear you’re a good judge and so I know you’ll be fair to me...... the judge is going to reply well yes you’re right about one thing I am a good judge and because I’m a good judge I’m going to see to it that you’re punished and that justice is served! Well then all of a sudden someone you don’t even know comes forward and says you know what I know he’s committed the crime he’s committed and he deserves to go to jail but I really don’t want to see him go to prison so I’ll just go to prison for him so he can go free! So if you accepted that offer you’d be free to leave the courtroom but if you didn’t well you’d be crazy and go to prison yourself! Well that’s exactly how it was 2,000 years ago! He is God in human flesh and he came to this earth lived a perfect sinless life and even though he knew that we had sinned and because of our sins deserved to die miserably but he said no I don’t want to see them suffer so I will go and take their punishment for them! Even though he did absolutely nothing wrong still he chose to take the punishment for our sins so we can be set free from the power bondages and consequences of our disobedience to God! Romans 5:8 says For God commends his love toward us that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us! 1 John 2:2 says he was made to be the propitiation for our sins! And not just for our sins but the sins of the whole world! 2 Corinthians 5:21 He who knew no sin became Sin for us that we would be made his righteousness! The truth is if you had to get to Heaven by your own effort then you cannot do it! Because Romans 3:10 says there is not one that does good! No Not One! Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death! But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord! But the good news is Romans 10:9 If we confess with our mouth and believes in our hearts that Christ died for our sins then was raised from the dead we will be saved! V 10 For it’s with the heart we believe and it’s with the mouth confession is made unto salvation! God gave us 10 commandments to follow and we’ve broken every one of them! And because God is a good God he cannot allow our disobedience to him to go unpunished! Well then like I just mentioned above his son Jesus stepped forward and said no I don’t want to see them punished so I will take their punishment for them! And also like I said he died a terrible substitute criminal’s death for us on a cross so now all we have to do is accept that payment for our sins and we can escape the terrible wrath of God that is to fall on them who do not accept this atonement that was sacrificed for our sins! Praise the lord Romans 10:13 says Whoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved! And 1 Peter 1:4 you’re an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you! Christ clearly said in John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through me! Acts 4:12 clearly states that there is no other name given unto Heaven or earth by which we must be saved as there is salvation in no other! Jesus clearly states that there is clearly only one way to Salvation and it’s him that’s it! There is no other way! God Bless everyone who reads!

Happy Belated Easter, friends! I *almost* got a chance to see 2nd Chapter of Acts during the month or so I spent as a "Big Frosh" at ORU from mid-August through mid-September of 1975. To me, there was a genuineness back then to most of the "Jesus Movement" groups of the late '60s through the early '80s, and I was especially impressed by *this* group. They *look* like the sisters and brother that they are, and the brother (Matthew Ward) seemed effortlessly capable of the kind of vocal acrobatics that are too-often put on embarrassing display by amateurs when they are asked to perform solo versions of our national anthem before sporting events. Fans of Donna Summer should recognize Matthew Ward's soulful and powerful tenor from his pop duet with her from the late '70s: "Love Has A Mind of Its Own." (At the time, *I* didn't even recognize it to be Matthew--singing on a pop/soul LP!?! I just thought it was some lucky back-up singer--I assumed he was a young Black man--who had been given a chance to shine by Miss Summer.) Well, for *me* Easter isn't Easter until I hear what has become my favorite "contemporary" Easter song--quite possibly my favorite Easter song, PERIOD--playing loudly from my stereo early on Easter morning. This wonderful song was written by the eldest sister, and this family was intimately acquainted with grief (*and* joy) by the time *that* happened... There's something about this poorly-recorded video of one of their live performances of *Easter Song" that *gets* me *right **here***... Every time!

I saw Second Chapter live one time decades ago at their height. Noone sings like they do and Matthew Ward is exceptional. Thank you for this video preserving the past.

I just watched my church's Easter service and the pianist closed with this song. Joy to the world He is risen!

No audio in the second half of the video for me.

Excellent!

This might actually be the very first concert I ever went to when I was 5 years old. Akron Civic Theater.

Amazing footage, I would have loved to have seen them live but not sure if they came to the UK? They are one of my favourite bands and will never forget the impact of hearing Singer Sower as a teenager. Still love it now

cAN YOU BELEIVE THIS BROTHER'S VOICE! BETTER THAN ANY THAT SANG 'JUDAS' IN SUPERSTAR! I KNOW, WUD HAVE LASTED A WEEK AND QUIT. THE DRIVE IN HIS VOICE IS SO POWERFUL. THEN ON TOP OF THAT, HIS SISTERS WITH HIM JUST OFTEN LEFT ME IN TEARS!!!

A friend took me to see 2nd Chapter of Acts late 70's early 80's. I've been a fan ever since. Thank you Jesus for watching over me.

Good singer. No stage presence. He looks like he is singing the special song on Sunday morning. He should have gotten some tips from Greg Volz.

I don't really care what your faith is, Matthew Ward's voice is an undeniable gift from some divine being. Perhaps the greatest singer of all time

Is this show in Forida?

I got goosebumps! Love the lyrics

Classic. So good. Thanks for uploading. 👍

Matthew Ward has one of the greatest voices ever. An incredible song too.

Gotta love Jimmy T working his buns off in the back with '87 technology.

Lovely voices and excellent harmony, God Bless.

Ward’s tour of his 1986 album Armed and Dangerous with Curt Bartlett on lead guitar.

🚬💋✝️🩸🌈🌎🕊️🍷💃🏼📖💋👑🕺🏻 MAKE WAY FOR THE KING, the KING OF kings! AMEN AMEN AMEN HALLELUJAH AMEN

Matthew Ward's voice is just amazing! I remember learning this song on a roof in Lima, Peru, as our band was putting together our States return tour...I so wanted to sing this song!

Matthews harmonies are off the chart crazy!! No rhyme, no reason and no structure!! Lol. All over the place but still incredible !! Not even replicated!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful song. I remember going to the Last Day Ranch in Lyndale, Texas and watching you guys play many songs. I was blest back then, and I’m blest now in hearing this song again. Godspeed!

Every Easter, my grandma would wake up the whole house playing this song. Every year, no matter where I am, I continue that tradition. Today is the first Easter since she went to meet Jesus. I'm in my mid twenties, I live out of state, and I'm damn sure I just woke up my neighbors with this song. Hallelujah!

This young man could have replaced Steve Walsh of Kansas in a heartbeat.

This young man could have replaced Steve Walsh of Kansas in a heartbeat.

Go herb!!! Love ya

Halfway through the sound cuts out…😢

Who's the guitarist here ?

Was blessed to be there. Can’t remember the year, probably’86.

Very powerful voice. Annie you are excellent.

There's nothing like old school contemporary gospel music. ( 70s - 90s )

Please ask Annie Nellie and matt to come back please!!!!!

It's probably the most meaningful song in my life.

Did you know that the CD of this song matches up perfectly with this video? I tried to get Buck Herring to do it.

My favorite song ever! God is the BEST❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Praise God for these videos! Thank you for sharing!! I’m a piano player and love the keyboardist and Annie’s playing and Nelly and everyone performing!! Such a blessing every bit of this!

A blast from the past! Matthew Ward is a dynamo!

In 1981 a new believer, one of my first Christian albums was Mansion Builder by 2nd Chapter of Acts. For years after that I followed the group got all their albums including Matthew's albums. And I think they can be purchased now through iTunes. This sister brother group made a huge impact on those who came in during the Jesus people movement or shortly thereafter. And still continues to bless the body of Christ today. Just ordinary people who love Jesus with all their heart and are amazingly gifted. Such a blessing.

I was there for this. I was 7. I got the piano players autograph.
