Welcome to a new feature on the website. Worship Music Monday. Every Monday I hope to have something on the site focused on
the topic whether it is an album review, concert news, or whatever else that
comes up.
First up for Worship Music Monday is a review of Meredith Andrews new album.
First up for Worship Music Monday is a review of Meredith Andrews new album.
Meredith Andrews recently released her third album, “Worth It All”. I became a fan of Meredith’s several
years ago upon hearing her first album.
I was listening to the one of the Christian radio stations just hoping
to hear something that really just grabbed me. They played Meredith Andrews and I immediately went to the
computer looking to see if she had a website where I could hear more of her
music. That followed by hearing
the perfect song of hers that almost felt written for me. That was a “that’s God” moment. Needless to say, I went shopping the
next day with one goal in mind and that was coming home with that album. LOL. I have gotten the pleasure of seeing her in concert on one
occasion and getting to meet her as well.
Her first single off the album “Not For A Moment” has been a mainstay on
K-Love Radio since its release.
The song focuses on how when you’re going through those tough times that
you are not alone. God is right
there with you. He will not leave
you, nor forsake you. He is always
there and is that constant in life.
The song has already brought forth so many testimonies among listeners
of it. Meredith is originally from
North Carolina and started singing in church at the age of six. She is now a resident of Chicago where
she leads worship at Harvest Bible Church. She and her husband recently welcomed their second
child. Her second album, “As Long
As It Takes” was named Worship Album of the Year at the Gospel Music
Association’s Dove Awards. The
album wasn’t the only winner as her song, “How Great Is The Love” was given an
award for “Worship Song Of The Year”.
The new album will hook you right from the beginning with “Open Up The
Heaven” which has such a great world anthem sound to it. It will get you fired up as the album
starts. When you listen to her
music, she has such a great mix of uptempo and slow songs. Just feels like praise music and it
would make sense that she is a worship leader. :) My favorite song on the album is
probably “Pieces”. It just has
such a great message to it about how God can take all of our pieces and make
them for good. “He can make your
pieces fit” is the lyric in the song and God has a purpose for everyone’s
life. “The Gospel Changes
Everything” is a huge worship song with the title saying it all. The word is what can change the
world. When I listen to her music,
I just see this image of her on stage singing with a church full of people
raising their hands. When I see
videos of her online, that image comes true. LOL. She does a
great job as worship leader and she is a very talented singer. I am looking forward to a lot more
music out of Meredith Andrews.
Favorite Songs: Not For A Moment, Open Up The Heavens, Pieces, Strong
God, Start With Me, Worth It All, The Gospel Changes Everything.
