As the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards approach, one song stands out as the ultimate contender for International Collaboration of the Year—”The Doing of the Lord”, a soul-stirring masterpiece by Ghana’s gospel icon Diana Hamilton, featuring Nigeria’s sensational Mercy Chinwo. More than just a song, it is a testimony of faith, an anthem of divine inspiration, and a remarkable fusion of two of Africa’s most celebrated gospel artists.
For over a decade, Diana Hamilton has been the face of Ghanaian gospel music, consistently delivering hits that inspire and uplift while competing at the highest levels of the industry. From Adom to Mo Ne Yo, her music has transcended borders, and with The Doing of the Lord, she has once again raised the bar. The song has shattered records, dominated charts, and embodies everything the International Collaboration of the Year category at the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards seeks to honor—groundbreaking partnerships that redefine gospel excellence.
A Perfect Blend of Ghanaian and Nigerian Gospel Excellence
“The Doing of the Lord” is a seamless fusion of Ghanaian and Nigerian gospel artistry. Mercy Chinwo’s powerful and anointed vocals perfectly complement Diana Hamilton’s soulful delivery, resulting in a song that resonates deeply with audiences worldwide. From the moment its artwork was unveiled to the song’s official release, the anticipation and excitement were unmatched, marking one of the most significant moments in Ghanaian gospel music last year.
Their synergy is undeniable. The accompanying music video brilliantly captures the essence of both cultures, showcasing a stunning blend of Ghanaian and Nigerian aesthetics through intricate headpieces, elegant dresses, and a celebration of unity in diversity. One standout moment in the collaboration is Mercy Chinwo’s flawless delivery of a verse in Twi, a feat so impressive that one might mistake her for a Ghanaian. In a beautiful exchange of cultures, Diana Hamilton later learned the Igbo version of the song during The Awake Experience 2024, creating one of the most-watched gospel ministrations of the year.
A Gospel Anthem That Transcends Borders
“The Doing of the Lord” is more than just a song; it is a movement, destined to become a gospel anthem that evokes deep spiritual connections while sparking nostalgia. With its uplifting message, exceptional vocal performance, and stunning visual representation, it bridges cultures and unites audiences worldwide.
Beyond the song itself, Diana Hamilton’s career and character further solidify her claim to this prestigious award. Her consistency, humility, and unwavering dedication to spreading the gospel through music make her a truly deserving recipient. Mercy Chinwo, with her signature energy and anointing, has elevated this collaboration to new heights, making this partnership nothing short of a divine appointment.
