Gospel musician Piesie Esther has revealed that she finds songwriting to be a natural and effortless process, crediting her creativity to divine inspiration.
“I always give thanks to God for that because I am someone who does not struggle when it comes to writing my songs,” she said on The Chat on Channel One TV on Saturday November 15.
Piesie Esther shared the story behind her hit song ‘Nyame Ye,’ explaining that it was born during a sleepless night.
She said she reflected on God’s goodness in her life and turned to her Bible for guidance, landing on 1 Samuel 12.
Although she could not recall the exact verse, she described how the chapter recounts the Israelites sinning against God and Samuel interceding on their behalf. The Israelites were preparing to go to war against the Philistines, and despite challenges, Samuel’s appeal helped them prevail. The story mentions Mizpah, where Samuel placed a stone to mark God’s faithfulness.
“That is where I got the inspiration from because I remember where I was some years ago and what I have been through. God has been good,” Piesie Esther explained.
She said moments of reflection like this continue to guide her music, allowing her to create songs that inspire and remind listeners of God’s blessings and faithfulness.
