As Long As It Takes
Preparing for this album has been a significant time of growth for me, and this whole process has been more like a journey into further embracing the extravagant grace of God. It has forced me to dig deeper, thus spilling out songs that are completely honest, vulnerable, and personal. My prayer, yet again, is that these songs would reflect the truth of God's Word and draw the listener closer to Himself. So while March 2 will be another ordinary day in many ways, I hope that if you decide to embark on this journey with me, you will find yourself getting still, listening for the sweet voice of Jesus, and waiting for Him...As Long As It Takes.
The Invitation
At its very essence worship is an invitation. Whether it’s a church congregation on a Sunday morning or a solitary soul reaching up to God in a moment of personal praise, worship is inviting God’s presence into our lives so we can celebrate His glory. That’s why “The Invitation” is such a fitting title for singer/songwriter Meredith Andrews debut on Word Records.
Beneath her youthful exterior and fresh-faced exuberance, Andrews is a focused artist who knows exactly what she wants to say. She creates music that serves as a personal conduit for those seeking to worship God, and she also wants to remind others of God’s desire to reach them. “God is extending an invitation to you, to you personally, calling you by name,” she says. “He knows where you’ve been and he knows your background. He knows your family situation. He knows the things you struggle with, but he’s calling you by name and he’s inviting you to come in and to meet with him and to know him.”
