How many lives have they touched? I include myself in this. There is hardly a day I don't sing a little bit of Ann Herring's Easter Song. They are the seed sown on good ground.
All praise, honor and glory to God the Father!! What a blessing.... then and now. Anyone have these words? I had their With Footnotes album when I was in college... Scripture put to music!!! No better blessing..
I agree, they were great, and yes, it's sad that they broke up, but, it's a good thing there's "You Tube" nowadays, so that we could view their past concerts, as well as their ministries.
I haven't heard this song in about 25 yrs, but I've always kept it in my heart and thought about it often and its message. I'm glad I went looking for it today on youtube. Thank you for posting it.
Wow!...so good to see them "live." I have all their cds. Singer Sower and Night light are the ones that get the most play; even today. The narrow way is not easy, yes, but it is the way of peace.
I recently heard from my friend Jim Tenneboe, keyboard player for Acts who is also on this video, that 2nd Chapter Of Acts is the most requested group in terms of a reunion tour or collaboration tour with other artists. That almost happened this year but it hit a couple of speed bumps. Hopefully someday, they've got a bass player if they do! BTW.....Steve is not a bad guy, but he is pretty protective of the brand if you will.....most Christian Artists didn't make much money,
You must be kidding? Canada is one if the most corrupt Nations on Earth and mostly Godless. I've known many witches and a large satanic very wealthy family, not by choice. Maybe because I too am a musician?
*+Lee Jones* Thanks for posting my favorite band of all history. I still cry when I hear them. I worshipped with 2nd Chapter's music so much and was sad when they broke up. I'd really like to know the song sequence of this concert if it's not too much trouble.
Love 2cnd Chapter but was so so glad Matthew Ward went solo and produced and did some of the best music ever in the history of gospel. There is no voice greater than Matthew Wards, none.
@Abel940 All praise, honor and glory to God the Father!! What a blessing.... then and now. Anyone have these words? I had their With Footnotes album when I was in college... Scripture put to music!!! No better blessing..
I don't understand it, but every time I hear this song, or 'Which Way The Wind Blows' - my glasses get blurry. I miss them. I still remember hugging Annie in Santa Cruz in 1978 and experiencing the electricity of the Spirit - unspeakable energy, light and wonder was in the air that night. Pam Mark Hall's song, 'When We All Come Together' comes to mind. Soon.
Hi Lee, I just noticed that you were the bass player! Thanks for sharing! Who was the drummer on this tour? Was it Jack Kelly? Did you play on the albums or just the tours? I think I saw this band in 1984 or 85! I love their music ... I’ve been a fan since the 1970s! Anyhow ... I’d love response ... thanks!
ruudtes, I am Lee Jones, bass player for 2nd Chapter Of Acts and I posted this video on You Tube. I too got a summons on one of the videos and I explained to Steve that 1. I was in all the videos 2. They were not posted for financial gain. 3. The tape was from a television broadcast and was public domain. 4. Steve doesn't own copywright it on any of these songs, nor does his company. He backed off when he found out who he was flagging, he apologized and I haven't heard from him on this since.
And why wouldn't a Christian in ministry want such to be posted if it glorifies God? If we are called into ministry, then that is to be our goal, and we are to trust God to provide the ways and means to do so without restricting distribution, which should be encouraged. Christian ministry is not a busines$

WOW!! I attended Jesus fest in Sandwich Il! I didn't get to see 2nd Chapter but I saw the imperials headlining that night, then as every body else was leaving, a few people gathered under another tent and we entered an impromptu anointed praise session with the Lord! I'll never forget that holy communion!
Lovely voices and excellent harmony, God Bless.
Oh the voice of my favorite male vocalist Matthew Ward.
They were such an inspiration to me back in the 80's! Where ever they are may God bless them and guide them always! Thanks for the great music!
Matthew Ward has a lot of wonderful solo music. In case you did not know. God bless!
When i last heard these songs i hardly understood English. Now that i do and live it, it makes it so much better

Thanks for sharing. Years of memories come back and renewed hope for the future out of the past!
Thanks for posting this concert video of a great Song! Saw them at Messiah College on their Roar of Love concert!
Perfect blend of voices, wonderful!
Their music is still topical, uplifting and blessed.
Wow!...so good to see them "live." I have all their cds. Singer Sower and Night light are the ones that get the most play; even today.

Jim Tenneboe is my favorite keyboard player! You are an amazing bassist too!! I wish you all would do a reunion tour and come to southern California
Yes even Christian musicians are not above arguing and fighting over publishing and money.
What a beautiful song
The kjv says narrow. The nkjv says difficult. It's easy faith like a child. For salvation. But christians do have struggles but he helps us through
Tell Annie, tell Nellie and Matthew, there is a hurricane of revival happening everywhere in Canada right now!

Why does this go silent at the 4:05 moment??? Would have loved to listen to the rest of this anointed moment!!!
Wished the other song was audible
I don't think they ever did go to Australia, wish they had, I'd love to visit there sometime!

I'm Christian and been in many band, let me assure you that most musicians are full of pride and have a mercenary attitude just in it for themselves.
@@peacebyjesus2388 absolutely true, thanks
@@batphink2655 - true, many have left the intial Christian path and changed to "normal" music
