Ghanaian gospel minister, Pastor Kwame Amponsah drops a timeless worship anthem, “Merensesa Me Nyame Da”
This one was out in 2009 and is still generating noise well over a decade later. The title translates to “I will not change my God” and that is the focus of each stanza. That kind of unshakeable faith has long been the bedrock of Ghana’s gospel scene, and this record is one of its abiding instances.
Simple production features warm worship instrumentation that puts the message front and center. The vocal here is nothing to beat for attention. The arrangement is sparse, so the spiritual heft of the song is evident from the first line. Even those who are not familiar with Twi would catch the resolution delivered in every sentence on Pastor Kwame Amponsah – Merensesa Me Nyame Da
In general, the song works because its message and its constraint are so organically in motion together. Neither the arrangement nor the delivery sounds antiquated given its age. That timelessness is likely why song still makes the rounds of gospel playlists today.
