Veteran Ghanaian gospel trio Daughters of Glorious Jesus have revealed that the inspiration behind reintroducing some of their classic songs is to connect with a new generation of listeners while preserving the timeless message of the Gospel.
According to the group, their decision to remake some of their old songs is rooted in the enduring power of God’s Word, which they believe remains just as relevant today as it was decades ago.
Speaking to Nii Noi on Hitz FM’s Hitz Praise Zone, the trio likened their mission to the biblical account of Isaac reopening the wells dug by his father, Abraham.
“We are trying to rediscover the old wells. When Isaac came of age, he inherited the well his father Abraham had dug, which contained still waters. He didn’t abandon it; instead, he dug deeper and found that there was still water. In the same way, because our songs are based on the Word of God, they remain relevant even in today’s world,” they explained.
Lead singer Cynthia Appiadu said the group’s vision is to introduce younger audiences, especially Generation Z, to the power and anointing embedded in their timeless songs.
“We want to let the younger generation know that these songs still carry God’s power and anointing. Our goal is to present them in a style they can easily relate to so they don’t feel left behind. Some of these songs were released seven or even nine years ago, and many young people may never have had the opportunity to hear them.”
Group member Edna Sarpong also disclosed that the trio is embarking on a project to produce music videos for many of their classic songs, noting that a large portion of their early catalogue has never been given visual representation.
“Compared to our earlier years, when we produced only one or two music videos, we have so many songs without visuals. Many people from the older generation have often asked why some of our favourite songs don’t have videos. That’s why we want to create visuals for all those songs.”
She added that the project is also about leaving a lasting spiritual legacy for generations to come.
“We won’t be here forever. We want to leave behind a rich inheritance for the fourth and fifth generations so they will remember that some people once stood together in one accord to glorify God, and that will inspire them as well.”
The award-winning trio, made up of Cynthia Appiadu, Edna Sarpong and Monica Owusu Ansah, has remained one of Ghana’s most influential gospel groups for more than three decades. Known for evergreen songs such as Bebre, Nea Yɛhu, Wo Ntaban and Mebo Yesu Din Daa, Daughters of Glorious Jesus continue to attract audiences across generations through their message of faith, hope and worship.
