Worth It All reflects Meredith Andrews' role as worship leader at Chicago’s Harvest Bible Chapel, framing her devotional lyrics with well-contoured melodies enhanced by modern (but not overly slick) production. Andrews shows an impressive sense of timing and restraint as she delivers her passionate hosannas. The poignant ballad “All I Ask” and the panoramic waltz “Wonder of Wonders” combine a majestic sweep with confessional intimacy. Her essential sweetness as a singer (heard most strongly in “Your Kingdom Reins” and “Strong God”) doesn’t disguise her voice's underlying power. Worth It All’s title track builds to a celebration of spiritual rebirth, inviting every believer to join in. Interwoven with Andrews’ message of praise is a theme of transformation, especially captured with the rising intensity of “Burn Away.” From radio-friendly numbers like “Start with Me” to gorgeous corporate worship songs like “The Gospel Changes Everything,” Worth It All is wide in scope, deep in faith, and uplifting in impact.
