1976 Annie Herring – Through A Child’s Eyes

Annie Herring (born Annie Ward September 22, 1945)  is one of the pioneers of the Jesus music genre, later to be called Contemporary Christian music. She was a member of the trio 2nd Chapter of Acts, for which she wrote most of the songs and sang lead and harmony vocals with her brother Matthew Ward and sister Nelly (Ward) Greisen. During her musical career with the 2nd Chapter of Acts from 1973 to 1988, she also recorded solo albums.

During her time with 2nd Chapter, Annie had released two solo albums, “Through a Child’s Eyes” and “Search Deep Inside”, as well as an album for children, “Kids of the Kingdom”. After 2nd Chapter disbanded, Annie continued her solo career. Annie continued to tour the US through the 1990s and early 2000s, giving 40 to 50 concerts a year. During that time she continued to receive songs and record solo albums, to which her siblings from 2nd Chapter often added backup vocals. She also occasionally adds her vocals to other artist’s albums.
