Randy/Matthew thank you for bringing me to tears and keeping Keith’s legacy alive. I was 23 yrs old when For Those Who Have Ears To Hear came out and swept me away. Randy, I thank God for the impact you had on Keith and Melody. Matthew, 2nd Chapter Of Acts with Footnotes was THE BEST ALBUM I’d ever heard in 1974. Thank you both for your faithfulness. I am now 71 (now live in CO) and am still zealous for Jesus thanks to examples like you guys. No Compromise. My epitaph will be: A man after God’s own heart - faithful to the end.

Keith Green died 6 days before I was born but I grew up loving his music. He is one of the biggest reasons I took up playing piano and love the passion of praising Jesus ❤

Christian radio stations need to be playing the music of these 2 fantastic artists and so many more from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. So many people today have no idea the great Christian music and artists they're missing out on. One's that people like me, 63 years old , were blessed to see live in concert many times. The classic Christian music deserves air play , and would minister to younger group of people who have never heard it. And, to those of us who lived that era and hunger to hear it played again.

This is one of the first Christian songs I heard, as a new seeker. I wasn't a believer. I had been in a car accident it was driving a rental that only had a.m. radio. Without realizing that I was listening to Christian music, I began enjoying the sound. This led me to The music of Mylon Lafevor. The testimonies in the early Christian music was very effective.

My husband was saved at a 2nd Chapter of Acts concert. Matthew and Ann prayed with him. Such good memories of Randy Stonehill and others like him

Randy Stonehill: “King of Hearts.”

That's such a fine expression of a song, to the Lord by his Friends. We remember..

Two of the pioneers of faith based rock music. Wow, their voices sound as great as ever.

I want this one sung at my funeral. One of my favorites

One of Keith Green's best songs. So glad that it is still sung after such a long time...so true to every believer!

I'm so glad I came to faith when this music was written. CCM today is so out of touch with Christ and His work in the Church. Reveals the sad state of the church today. Shallow.

This is amazing!!!!!! Anyone else out there just discovering these awesome singer songwriters from the past due to Covid? This song has such a haunting melody; it often goes through my head/heart randomly during the day. And the lyrics!!!! Wow Wow wow!!!! Jesus, You are awesome!!!!!!!!

This takes me back to my teenage years in the 1970's. Thank you gentlemen. Still as good as ever.

Still as powerful as the first time I heard this in the 70's!

Love it. Two lovely men of God singing praises to the Lord. Very encouraging. Thank your Lord Jesus!

I vividly remember praying along with countless thousands of believers in Keith Green's travails to bring this album to fruition. Praise God for the songs that lift us up and fill us with hope. Rest in rock, Keith.

Man, hearing Keith Green's version makes this hard to listen to. Especially knowing how amazing Matthew Ward and Randy Stonehill are...

Just heard Randy do this live last night in Topeka.

classic and great toward eternity

I can only imagine the offers Matthew got over the years to front secular rock bands.

Beautiful!!

Awesome to have these two together!

Randy Stonehill is an icon. So grateful for his music!

GERDA please NEVER remove these songs from channel! Please keep!

Wonderful.....Matt's such a good back-up as well as lead singer. His harmonies here are so seamless and perfectly synced.

Song cuts through the heart!

Dear brothers, faithful through it all..rock on!

I love this and listen to it all the time! Randy’s voice is amazing and melds with Matthew’s perfectly. Also, Randy’s guitar is just outstanding.

good memories from all of these guys, thanks it has been over 40 years

Keith's legacy lives on in you guys..beautiful Randy, thanks for coming to Jacksonville, FL and blessing us!

I grew up listening to 2nd Chapter of Acts and when Matthew started on his own I was amazed how much his songs touched me like It's Alright, Summer Snow, Angels Everywhere...Keith Green and all his songs, Benny Hester, Phil Keaggy, Resurrection Band...so many who touched my life and relationship with the Lord as a young Christian. I was always singing with them and they had a way of expressing what I was feeling but couldn't find the words. Thanks again for uploading these great videos! :-)

Thxs for upload. Saw these two im concert many years ago. Still great musicians.

An anthem from my teenage years from 2 of my favorites...those were the days..awesome.

Wow - two of my favorites together on such a great song!

Just lovely...

Thanks for sharing these 2 artists & their message. Love breaks through again!! God bless

I have always loved this song! It is so good to hear two of the best male vocalists sing together! They still have fantastic voices!

I know they're pros, and I haven't sung on stage (yet), but I don't know how they get through this song without losing it..tearfully. The grace and goodness of our God is so amazingly powerful! Do you know Him today, friend?

SWEET harmony! Beautiful! The best around!

I hope that Mathew Ward is doing all right heard he had cancer a while ago. Always loved his voice from the first time I heard it. Him and his sisters were adopted and dedicated their lives to singing for the Lord I know their parents were also involved with the Second Chapter of Acts. Amazing talent G-d given talent it is.

Randy came to our town last week. Wonderful. Also, for those who don't know, Matthew wrote an autobiography called My Second Chapter. I got a digital copy. Interesting to hear his perspective on life and know more about 2CA and others in the Jesus movement.

Wow, these two sound like siblings! Well, I guess they are in that sense! I haven't heard them in many years but they are as good as ever!

one of the best songs ever

Randy is a great artist but when it comes to vocals few can touch Matthew Ward.

Praise Jesus.

Keith brought in Randy to write the lyrics for this wonderful music. Randy "nailed it" by the Holy Spirit on the first verse, Keith agreed, and the rest is history. Melody Green and Todd Fishkin also co-wrote.

Sooooo AMAZING ♥️🙏❣️😘 Kathleen

Love the third verse; first time hearing that one.

Nice to hear. Keith Green's version is still the most amazing.

what an awesome video... had the opportunity to do sound for both of these guys on separate occassions in a little church near Albany NY... many many years ago.... still love them both thanks for the post

While you are on this channel please find & watch documentaries on Keith's Life. Here is why I say that: Keith was best friends with the group members of the 2nd Chapter of Acts, including Matthew Ward. "I would have to say, if it wasn't for the loving & giving heart of Keith Green, I probably would not have become a believer and remained "the course" even through today. I led my brother to the Lord and he and I have led nearly 25 members of our extended family to Christ. I even have two boys who have become full-time ministers of the Gospel of Christ. (Keith would be proud) I have studied under many significant ministries, leaders, preachers, churches, in several denominations, but, sad to say, I have had to renounce many their influences from my life for many of them have fallen away from Christ Himself and His solid and simple teachings. Keith Green was that prophet that had caused myself and many to be single-focused in my walk with Christ and to seek to be planted in quality soil in order to produce fruit."

such a beautiful song ... thankyou

Very nicely done

Oh harvest song Not by Might is the best and it has mathew in it among others.too. Love that song.

I have all the Albums of Randy, having said that I also have them of 2/ch of acts and Mathew ward solo too, because I love to hear his voice, and I'd like to add another voice that is on par if not better than that of Mathew, and that's Jerry Williams from HARVEST. I have all their PL's too. still pay they in my mancave. As a young Christian I would invest my time in christian bands while my mates would go party and drink on a Friday night No subwoofers in those days just Giant speaker and I'd crank it up when no one was home. Still do it Now.

so good

what a treat!

Excellent!

Woow geweldig.

Could Matthew's verse have been done any better? If that had been a studio take, I can hardly imagine why they would do another -- what they would hope to improve. The final run ("It's like the power of the wind") gave me neck chills. So effortless. Just amazing.

Never heard an acoustic version of it...

So, Matthew, how hard was this to do with someone besides Keith Green? Aside from you part it was hard to watch.

Did the different words than Keaggys recording come from Randy or was it Keith Greens?

Volgens Events4Christ zouden ze met een band optreden. Dit is wel erg akoestisch.

Slow it down boys.

any more to this concert ?

Poor sound quality.
