Pastor Kwame Amponsah – Merensesa Me Nyame Da

Ghanaian gospel minister, Pastor Kwame Amponsah, unleashes a timeless worship ballad, “Merensesa Me Nyame Da”

This one was out in 2009 and is still making a fuss over a decade later. The title is “I will not change my God,” and each verse is based on that theme. Such steadfast faith has been the bedrock of Ghana’s gospel scene for a long time, and this record is one of its enduring examples.

The simple production features warm worship instruments that keep the message front-and-center. The vocals here are something to beat for attention. The sparse arrangement means the spiritual gravitas of the song is clear from the first word. Even those who are not familiar with Twi would catch the resolution provided in every phrase on Pastor Kwame Amponsah – Merensesa Me Nyame Da

The song mostly works because the message and its restriction are so organically in motion together. The arrangement and delivery sound contemporary regardless of age. It is probably this timelessness that keeps the song going the rounds of gospel playlists today.
