Mary Ghansah has expressed her firm belief that love songwriters have the ability to write gospel songs.

The veteran gospel artiste stated that she sees absolutely nothing wrong with an artiste writing gospel songs if they normally write love songs.

She said this in an interview with Miss Gee on the entertainment segment of New Day show on TV3 Monday, January 11.

“There is nothing wrong with somebody who writes love songs like Solomon portraying love," she stated.

This she said concerning the saga surrounding Celestine Donkor and her recent track "Thank you".

The gospel artiste has been condemned for featuring secular artistes in the new track.

It was pointed out that the track was inappropriate on the gospel scene for featuring the likes of Maa Cynthia, Efya and Akwaboah.

Gospel stakeholders were quick to stated that it is not proper for a gospel artiste to feature that many secular artistes in one song, as it taints the whole purpose and message of the song.

According to Mary a Ghansah, the public needs to be careful with the way it handles matters relating to the combination of gospel and world music.

There are people who have experienced God and want to of his or reflect on his goodness and all that God has done for them.

"There are other people who even though are not circular artists but one way or the other might have gone through challenges in life that they came closer to the knowledge of God sometimes out of sickness, accident, in diverse ways want to find a place in their heart to say thank you, God." She said.

"If the person is not moved or inspired, he cannot write it. What you can use to check all these things is the lyrics." Mary concluded.
