For more classic CCM Easter music, you’ll want to visit Lent & Beyond this week. I’m posting a bunch of CCM songs for Easter from the 1970s and 1980s. The Imperials, Benny Hester, Steve Green, Glad, DeGarmo & Key, John Michael & Terry Talbot, Larnelle Harris & Sandi Patty…. and so so much more!
Here’s the link for the CCM Classics series:

We’ll also be posting traditional hymns and classical music as well. All our Easter music posts can be found here:

He is Risen, Hallelujah!
By the way, the original recording of Easter Song by 2nd Chapter of Acts appeared on their very first album “With Footnotes”, in 1974, which happened to be the very first Christian album I ever purchased (in 1975 – I was 12, and a new Christian). Matthew Ward was only about 15 when that first album was released. His vocals standout more on this live version. I love his voice. So distinctive!
The back of the album contains either part or all of the text of Acts Chapter 2. The song titles were the “footnotes” annotating certain verses.
