概述

出生于美国北卡罗来纳州的Meredith，六岁就开始学唱歌。

Meredith 的声音就像从天堂飘来的，

轻盈而甜美的声线，柔柔的，听着很舒服。闭上眼睛，静静聆听，仿佛置身于梦境。

meredith andrews梅雷迪斯 安德鲁斯

是一个当代基督教音乐CCM（一种西方流行音乐，其风格抒情，内容多有关基督教信仰，并融合乡村音乐、pop、rock...）艺术家和引领者。

早年

梅雷迪斯成长在北卡罗来纳州的威尔逊。她在那里开始歌唱时，年仅六岁。然后她学会弹钢琴，并开始自己写歌。梅雷迪斯毕业于威尔逊基督教学院，她在高中时就在教堂主持礼拜。后来她又考入了弗吉尼亚州的自由大学。她当时主修家庭与子女关系，甚至一度打算毕业后在孤儿院工作。因为虽然她是个独生子，但她的父母领养过三个孩子。

人生哲学

梅雷迪斯安德鲁斯看到，音乐可以对人们的生活产生影响。但这不是她的目的，她想分享。

“我从未想过写歌仅是写歌。我总是希望它们作为媒介来传达上帝对人们的爱，无论他们是否追随上帝。我认为最好的办法就是通过上帝的圣言。我一直希望我的歌曲能与上帝的话融合，因为如果仅是我说的话，它会是无效的。要问我有什么能告诉人们的，从而改变他们的生活？没有！但是，如果来自于上帝，那就是能改变他们的。”

歌词：

You Invite Me In

i`ve been searching

wandering and hurting

ashamed of the shape i`m` in

afraid you`ll see who i really am

but.u invite me in

doesn`t matter where i`ve been

your arms r open wide

there`s nothing left to hide

how can this be

a love so unfailing

reached down and lifted me

from ashes to beauty

and u invite me in

doesn`t matter where i`ve been

your arms r open wide

there`s nothing left to hide

for u invite me in

doesn`t matter where i`ve been

your arms r open wide

pulling me to u side

and now i`m walking away

from the life i once knew

and running into your grace

that covers my shame

again and again.i find my life in u

for u invite me in

doesn`t matter where i`ve been

your arms r open wide

there`s nothing left to hide

you invite us in

doesn`t matter who we`ve been

your arms r open wide

pulling us to your side

your arms are open wide

Lift Up Your Head

lift up you head

lift up your eyes

let us soar as the one draw near

to the one who meets us here

let us all fall down

before the god who rescues us in

lift up your head and throw off every chain

lift up your eyes to the one who doesnt change

lift up your hands, their broken he will mend

lift up your head

let us all fix our gaze on the offer of our faith

from what else we turn away

for the joy, that conquers shame

lift up your head and throw off every chain

lift up your eyes to the one who doesnt change

lift up your hands, their broken he will mend

lift up your head

he is lover

he is redeemer

he is father

he is friend

he is our shelter

he is our healer

he is the lifter of our heads

he is lover

he is redeemer

he is father

he is friend

he is our shelter

he is our healer

he is the lifter of our heads

lift up your head

lift up your eyes.

lift up your head and throw off every chain

lift up your eyes to the one who doesnt change

lift up your hands, their broken he will mend

so lift up your head

You're Not Alone

I search for love, when the night came,

And it closed in, I was alone,

But you found me, where I was hiding,

And now I'll never ever be the same,

It was the sweetest voice,

That called my name saying

You're not alone, For I am here,

Let me wipe away your every fear,

My love I've never left your side,

I have seen you through the darkest night,

And I'm the one who's loved you all your life,

All of your life

You cry your self to sleep, cause the hurt is real,

And the pain cuts deep, all hope seems lost,

With heartache your closest friend,

And everyone else long gone,

You've had to face the music on your own,

But there is a sweeter song that calls you home saying

You're not alone, For I am here,

Let me wipe away your every tear,

My love I've never left your side,

I have seen you through the darkest night,

And I'm the one who's loved you all your life,

All your life

Faithful and true, Forever,

Oh my love will carry you

You're not alone, For I, I am here,

Let me wipe away your every fear

Oh yeah, My love I've never left your side,

I have seen you through the darkest night,

Your darkest night,

And I'm the one who's loved you all your life,

All of your life

Treasure

its not what you do for me

its not what you give to me

its not about anything but you my king

cause you are more beautiful

then anything in this world

even more wonderful then any gift you bring

my trasure is you, theres no other

my treasure is you, more then gold

heaven and earth they have lost their lustre

you alone are the treasure that i hold

nothing can take away; nothing can separate

nothing can come between your heart and mine

cause you are my everything, the hope of eternity

and you will forever be the love of my life

my trasure is you, theres no other

my treasure is you, more then gold

heaven and earth they have lost their lustre

you alone are the treasure that i hold

your love is hidden in my heart

and my heart is hidden in your love

your love is hidden in my heart

and my heart is hidden in your love

my treasure is you, theres no other

my treasure is you, more then gold

heaven and earth, they have lost their lustre

you alone are the treasure that i hold.

you alone the treasure.

The River

everyone is broken and in need of a savior

so He came and was broken for the marker,

for the shamed

still our eyes are blinded by the culture,

by the lies

we cant see that were filthy, we're fallen

and so dry

but He invites us

can you hear Him say

He invites us

hear Him call your name

welcome to the river

come drink come away come find your very life

welcome to the river of God

where your brokeness is washed away

everywhere is the sorrow

and the pain of empty living

you can see it, look in their eyes

all the hopelessness of the world

but look closer He is right there

in the midst of every fear

living water is the offer

restoration is the call

and He invites us

can you hear Him say

He invites us

hear Him call your name

welcome to the river

come drink come away come find your very life

welcome to the river of god

where your brokeness is washed away

welcome to the river

come drink come away come find your very life

welcome to the river of God

where your brokeness is washed away

find your healing

find your freedom

in the river of God

find your healing

find your freedom

in the river of God

your healing here

your freedom here

in the river of God

your healing here

your freedom here

in the river of God

welcome to the river

come drink come away come find your very life

welcome to the river of God

where your brokeness is washed away

..washed away

everyone is broken and in need of a savior

第二张专辑《As Long As It Takes》

地区: 美国

语言: 英语

简介:

曾被Billboard评为最佳新人的Meredith Andrews来自北卡罗莱纳州，六岁起就在教堂里唱歌，曾经的理想是在孤儿院工作。因为相信音乐可以改变人的生活，这个心里洒满阳光的女孩开始写歌，希望用自己的歌声来传递爱与信仰。

年初的新单《Can Anybody Hear Me》,甩开了过去清新可人的乖女孩形象，用激烈的鼓点贝斯呐喊出自己的心声。但在新砖发布后，发现她依旧是甜美清新，延续了上张的风格。

专辑曲目:

Never Move On

What love is this,that love should die;

Now I am His and He is mine,

What a love came down to rescue me,

Where I was bound He set me free,

I don't need a new truth,

All I need is more of You

To the cross I will run for all my Savior has done, I will stay here, never move on, No other moment in time, so glorious so divine, I will stay here, never move on

Held captive here in all of grace,

Joy found in tears upon your face and all my shame just disappears,

my guilt erased when I am here

I don't need a new truth,

All I need is more of You

To the cross I will run for all my Savior has done, I will stay here, never move on, No other moment in time, so glorious so divine, I will stay here, never move on

Nothing in my hands I'll bring, simply to Your cross I cling, I cling

To the cross I will run for all my Savior has done, I will stay here, never move on, No other moment in time, so glorious so divine, I will stay here, never move on

Only To Be Yours

Undivided, strip everything else away,

Burn the idols, the things in my life that have replaced You,

I lay my life down here on Your alter,

Empty my hands of all I've been holding back

Take everything I have, only to be Yours, Lord, Yours Lord, take it from my hands until I'm holding on to only You.

Captivated, You've stolen my heart away,

I've been liberated, the chains of this world forever broken, You laid Your life down,

Now I surrender, lifting my hands,

I'm holding nothing back

So take everything I have, only to be Yours, Lord, Yours Lord, take it from my hands until I'm holding on to only You.

For every need I want is found in You,

every breath in me a gift from You,

I have nothing here apart from You,

I am Yours Lord, only Yours

Take everything I have, only to be Yours, Lord, Yours Lord, take it from my hands until I'm holding on to only You.

Can Anybody Hear Me

I’m staring at these empty walls

Wondering when You’ll visit me again

When will You come?

If there is anything at all

Coming in between our love

Please show me, ‘cuz I am barely hanging on

Can anybody hear me?

The silence is deafening

Why do You feel so far away?

When I know You’re here with me

But I just need faith to see

Nothing can separate me from Your love

Believing what I can’t see

Has never come naturally to me

And I’ve got questions

But I am certain of a Love

Strong enough to hold me when I’m doubting

You’ll never let go of my hand

Can anybody hear me?

The silence is deafening

Why do You feel so far away?

When I know You’re here with me

But I just need faith to see

Nothing can separate me from Your love

I will trust in You, even in the moments

I can’t find you, and I will hold on to

Your promises of love

You’ve never failed before

I know You can hear me

When the silence is deafening

Even though You seem far away

And I know You’re here with me

But I just need faith to see

Nothing can separate me from Your love

As Long As It Takes

I'll travel lady a lotta miles just to find love

I'll do any and everything for your love

And all I need to do is give you my heart

To show you there's a deeper side to me

‘Cause I've been so far and looked so hard

I'll never stop till I find what I'm looking for

See I been lost several times before

But I will search forever

I'm willing to go

To the end of the world

Even if it takes all my life

Just to find you girl

I'm willing to go

Willing to go

I'm willing to go

Willing to go

I'm willing to go

I'm willing to go

To the end of the world

Listen baby you know I'll take any transport

Take a train, a car, even a love boat

Baby I would fly across the globe

As long as it leads to you

‘Cause I've been so far and looked so hard

I'll never stop till I find what I'm looking for

See I been lost several times before

But I will search forever

I'm willing to go

To the end of the world

Even if it takes all my life

Just to find you girl

I'm willing to go

Willing to go

I'm willing to go

Willing to go

I'm willing to go

I'm willing to go

To the end of the world

Oh I don't mind if it takes all my life

'Cause girl it's worth the time

Tryin' to find your love oh

I'm willing to go

To the end of the world

Even if it takes all my life

Just to find you girl

I'm willing to go

Willing to go

I'm willing to go

Willing to go

I'm willing to go

I'm willing to go

To the end of the world

Willing to go

I'm willing to go

Willing to go

Willing to go

I'm willing to go

Willing to go

In the end of the world

Willing to go

Willing to go

I'm willing to go

Willing to go

I'm willing to go

Willing to go

To the end of the world

Come Home

All Will Fade Away

In this world we will struggle

But You have overcome the world

In this life we will stumble

But our future is secure

There is hope in suffering

There is life beyond what we see

All of this will disappear

We are strangers here

We are strangers here

We will see You face to face

And all will fade away

Yes, all will fade away

Our moments are fleeting

Every breath could be our last

These things that we're holding

Will only wither like the grass

There's no end of time with You

No treasure here compares to You

All of this will disappear

We are strangers here

We are strangers here

We will see You face to face

And all will fade away

Yes, all will fade away

Caught up, caught up with You my Jesus

Caught up caught up with You forever

In love in love with You my Jesus

In love in love with You forever
