Annie Herring 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 an interview, she testified of a moment in which she had a vision of Jesus Christ in heaven. She said that she felt such love for Him. She wanted to kiss Him. As she drew near to Him, she felt every sin that she ever committed. She felt each transgression. It broke her heart. She felt there was no way Jesus could love her. The vision ended. She said, “Jesus is the perfect spotless Lamb of God!” Jesus took her sins away and affirmed His love for Annie over and over again. The Name of Jesus became like honey to her soul. And He filled her with His Holy Spirit.
