Douroux Songbook Committee

I was exposed to the music of Dr. Margaret Douroux at an early age, before I even considered a role in music ministry. I can recall the church choir singing songs like Take the Time Out, Give Me A Clean Heart and We’re Blessed. As time progressed, I was able to witness Dr. Douroux in ministry, presenting music and ministering to the masses.

I’m reminded of an appropriate cliché, Dr. Margaret Douroux is the “real deal.” She always has words of encouragement; she gives you that little push when you’re feeling down. Dr. Douroux ministry will definitely draw your heart towards God.

It has been a privilege to work with Dr. Douroux over the years. I thank God for steering me in her direction.

Thank you Dr. Douroux for your contributions to Gospel Music as your songs will be shared for years to come. May God continue to bless you.

Mr. Michael G. Burns, Houston, TX

I came to know the music of Dr. Margaret Pleasant Douroux long before I knew her personally. Who would’ve thought that after being captivated by the song “Follow Jesus” at the age of 4-5, I would be a lifelong fan? It has been one of the great joys of my life to know Dr. Douroux personally, write my doctoral thesis on her life and music and have the privilege of presenting this body of her work to the masses. There is no one else who is humbler, more deserving, and more worthy of such an honor. The music of Margaret Pleasant Douroux has been the soundtrack to my life. When I couldn’t think to pray, I thought of “Sooner than Right Now,” when I didn’t have words to express, I thought of “If It Had Not Been for the Lord on My Side,” and when I think of Jesus, I think of “He would not come down from the cross just to save himself, "He Decided to Die" just to save me!” Thank you, Dr., for all you’ve been, for trusting God with your life and pen (being available as you always say), and for trusting us with this task.

Dr. Damian D. Price, Houston, TX

I was told by my fiancé, Jeffrey Richardson that we had to go to meet a very special person and dear friend of his. He spoke of how close they were and how he played for her at her church. I suspected it was a size Carmela up kind of meeting; so, I put on one of my nice Nordstrom dresses and shoes to match and off we went. She lived in a town that was almost unheard of by natives - so, it was a long ride. I did not know what to expect; however, I figured it would be fine. And fine it was! I thought maybe we would eat on china and drink out of crystal goblets. I figured the table would be set with linen. I mean after all; this was Dr. Margaret Douroux’s house. Much to my surprise, we had chili dogs and carrot cake that was wrapped in aluminum

foil. We had a variety of sodas from which to choose. Although I was relieved that there was no pretense or “fu-fu-ness” I was taken aback by how warm and friendly Dr. Douroux was. She was just a sweet down to earth lady who happened to write songs people went crazy over. Who knew? I certainly did not! Well I am happy and thankful to say, I made the cut. Margaret later told me that She and God approved of me and that is why she let Jeff marry me. (and she said it in that order) It seems as though I have known her my entire life. Dr. Douroux is a stellar mother in Zion. She has a heart of gold. A laugh that is contagious and a smile that lights up a room. I am privileged to know her. I am blessed to be called one of her daughters. I love you Margaret! Min. Carmela Richardson, Detroit, MI For Margaret. It is both easy and difficult for me to write a paragraph about my love and admiration for Dr. Margaret Douroux. Continuing almost 40 years from when I was first introduced to her, she has been an inspiration, encourager, mentor, motivator, counselor, confidant, and so much more. Condensing what could easily be a book into one paragraph is an unfair task. So, I will say thank you to Dr. Damian Price for including me in the process of making this presentation of selected songs from the pen of Dr. Douroux a reality.

I served as her organist and witnessed her teaching many of her songs for the first time at choir rehearsals at Greater New Bethel Baptist Church, in Inglewood, CA. She is among the finest people I know. Her music flows from her life. “Jefferson”, (as only she can call me) has been eternally blessed by this living legend. I have no doubt you will be lifted and inspired by this hand-picked collection.

Pastor Jeffrey Richardson, Detroit, MI

Min. Carmela Richardson, Detroit, MI Pastor Jeffrey Richardson, Detroit, MI

“We sat side by side at the piano bench in the modest home on the side of the hill overlooking the basin of Los Angeles, as the Lord gave us chords and progressions while we wrestled with the time signature; debating whether there would be six beats to the measure, or an extended twelve, to accompany the living lyrics and majestic melody the Lord had placed in her head and heart – in a ritual we would repeat over and over:

“The Lord is speaking, to you; to you.

The Lord is speaking to you. Can’t you hear, what He’s saying?

Why are you waiting? The Lord is speaking, to you.”

My mind raced as I imagined the accompanying organ compliment to enhance and not overpower the simple melody and lofty lyrics. In the providential step ordering of God, this scene would morph into an indefinite reprise. Little did we know, but in His sovereignty, God the Holy Spirit was crafting a gift that would become a global voice in ecclesiastical worship. More than once, I said amazed that I was being allowed to participate in musical creativity with a genius! The Lord has continued to speak through the anointed vessel of my sister, colleague in the ministry of music, and gift to the Body of Christ, Dr. Margaret Pleasant Douroux. She is the generational extension of her multi-talented Father, Dr. Earl A. Pleasant, who himself could traffic from the manuscript of a sermon to the microphone of corporate praise and worship all in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. She was prodigy of the maestro, and co-founder, along with the great Rev. James Cleveland of The Gospel Music Worship of America, Prof. Thurston Frazier. This work contains the melodious voice of the Divine with messages from the Master that will lift you from the terrestrial to the celestial dimensions of church music, praise and worship. I remain amazed that the Lord loved me enough to allow me to sit beside, play along with, and follow her as she donned the podium with as a uniquely forceful, regimented almost militaristic metronomic maestro, commanding the attention of both those before, behind and around her as she launched a musical journey into the presence of the Lord. No one could set the tempo for a musical presentation like Margaret! This work is a compilation of a life lived as a voice and a vessel of the biblical exhortation to utilize music as an instrument of praise, worship and spiritual growth. Dr. Douroux’s compositions create a common ground for the biblical genres of kerygmatic, koinoniac and leitourgic content. You will read, hum and sing lyrics and melodies that proclaim the gospel of the Kingdom, enhance spiritual fellowship, and often serve as ushers leading you behind the veil into the very presence of God. As you join the excursion of this hymnody, you will repeatedly realize why her musical masterpieces, often simple yet profound; always profoundly simplistic, have been used by God as profitable for exhortation, encouragement, enlightenment and inspiration unto the uttermost parts of the world.

Over and over the Bible exhorts us or exemplifies the exhortation to “sing a new song”. Dr. Margaret Douroux is a contemporary Psalmist in the likeness of the sweet psalmist of Israel, David who declared in Ps 40:3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. KJV. The word used here for “new” speaks of a creative new; brand new; a never seen or heard before new” – a “new” that only comes from God. Such is the creative gift of Dr. Margaret Douroux. Hers was never a “sampling” ministry or redressing, re-doing, remixing what others have done. She was the repository of a “new” song, fresh from the throne and voice of God. Ps 33:3 declares: Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. NIV. The Davidic formula musically move through the new song, with skill, to shout. Invariably, Holy Spirit would take you to the double dot at the double bar instructing us to repeat, until we made it to the “shout!” Following the model of the Psalmist, you will sing, and with skillful accompaniment, worship on the path to praise and shouts of joy. Welcome to a musical experience from the pen of Dr. Margaret Douroux, and from the mind of God. Kenneth C. Ulmer, Ph. D., D. Min. Pastor, Faithful Central Bible Church, Los Angeles, CA

What Shall I RenderWords and Music by




Hymn

24

Twice, New Testament Scripture references types of songs we (the Body of Christ) are to sing. Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs are the three. They are for the purpose of encouraging, exhorting, and instructing. These words do not pertain to specific styles of music as we understand today. Rather, they speak of lyrical content and intention.

The compositions of Dr. Margaret Pleasant Douroux follow this injunction perfectly. As an instrument of God, she has adorned our fellowships with sounds of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Flawlessly, Dr. Douroux has crafted works that preserve a historical sound, while also presenting a fresh new auditory imprint. It would be correct to say that her catalogue consists of both praise and worship and gospel music.

Dr. Margaret Douroux has influenced many young writers. Her music has blessed and inspired millions. This present collection is proof of such. The music will continue. It will be preserved in the hearts of those who know her and love sacred music. Whether on the stages of great venues or in the sanctuaries of churches around the world, her music will be performed, ministered, arranged, and rendered for epochs, surpassing her physical presence.

I am honored to call her friend; to have worked with her; to have traveled with her; to have learned from her. Writing this forward has been nothing less than a reverent honor.

It is my prayer that this work will be appreciated and celebrated by all who have heard and loved her musical offerings. I also pray that distant generations will value this treasure, keeping it foundational as they pursue their own service, creating new sounds for their time.

Rev. Calvin Bernard Rhone Pastor, Hope of Glory Christian Center of Los Angeles Chapter Representative for the Los Angeles Chapter of the Gospel Music Workshop of America

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” Colossians 3:16-17 King James Version

The compositions of Dr. Margaret Pleasant Douroux have long served as a conduit for the

Gospel of Jesus Christ. Her catalogue is a testament to her spiritual relationship with Christ, and

as a vehicle of evangelism--reaching the souls of men and women throughout the country and

around the world. She has enthusiastically shared her capability of songwriting throughout the

years, with such memorable compositions as “If God Is Dead”, “High Praise”, “Give Me A

Clean Heart”, “The Lord Strong And Mighty” (one of my personal favorites) and many others

that have blessed the hearts and souls of Gospel music enthusiasts everywhere. And now, the

perfect collectable of modern-day hymns compiled to bring joy to today’s minstrels. These songs

are guaranteed to lift spirits, to bring peace to troubled minds, and to offer praise to God. As you

peruse and use these blessed compositions, allow the Spirit of the Lord to permeate your soul

and saturate your spirit. Enter into His gates; make your way to His courts; and worship—be it

privately or corporately- as you sing these melodies with a grateful heart and enthusiasm.

Elder A. Jeffrey LaValley Minister of Music, Composer, Producer

I Thank You LordWords and Music by



60

No one can imagine the consecutive hours that this writer has spent in prayer in order to produce and write the hundreds of melodies, words, tunes and songs that has qualified her as the “Dean” of gospel music writers. Margaret Pleasant Douroux has given birth to songs that we will never forget for years to come. Her incomparably broad and varied styles of composing reflects her diverse and rich musical abilities and embraces a message that one knows upon hearing the text, renders a biblical revelation. As stated in Colossians 3:16, “Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs….” suggests that her biblical knowledge gives balance and spiritual challenge in every songs that she composes. One immediately knows she is not a novice in Bible study. Her compositions are doctrinally sound and will always minister and teach biblical principles to others. The simplicity found in her selecting composition titles immediately denotes a message that is relational and easily transformed into a personal testimony by the singer and listener.

Dr. Douroux as a matured Christian displays a guiding faith, a faith system which gives her purpose for her musical thematic composing in series that speaks to and addresses needs, ideals and values. It is evidenced that she recognized her giftedness very early in life and develop the skills and competencies necessary to exercise her gift and talents. Her abilities to teach, mentor, coach and pour into other musicians the interpretations of her compositions represent self-knowledge, which is insight into oneself. She knows what, how and when to impart into others what God placed in her for the edification of the church and building the confidence of others. Without fail these “on-stage” actions have become a viable part of her “Douroux” brand down through many years of her public music ministry.

“Give Me A Clean Heart” 1970, “What Shall I Render” 1975, “Trees” 1979, down to “God Said I Got This” 2015 and many, many others represent half a century of treasured gospel songs that have had a remarkable impact upon the world of Christendom, given to us by my friend of 30 plus years, Dr. Margaret Pleasant Douroux. An unselfish, humble and accomplished composer that flies with the “eagles”.

Dr. Ulysses G. Moyé, II Third Vice-President National Conventions of Gospel Choirs and Choruses

I'm Gonna Take My Burdens LordWords and Music by



(A Spiritual Arrangement)

Solo/Unison

Choir

80

On this special occasion of your 80th Birthday, I am humbled and honored to have been invited to share words with you. You have proven yourself as California-based minister of music, pianist, composer, music publisher, educator, author, clinician, and lecturer and referred to by many as a Living Legend and “Reigning Queen of African American Gospel Music.” Following in the rich legacy of the eleventh century composer Hildegard (von Bingen), nineteenth century gospel songwriter Fanny J. Cosby and early twentieth century African American women songwriters Roberta Martin, Lucie E. Campbell, and Doris Akers, your hymns have found their way into mainline denominational hymnals and supplements, into the hearts and on the lips of countless Christians and African American gospel music aficionados. You have written more than 150 original copyrighted compositions, conducted workshops across the country and abroad and have had many of your compositions recorded by outstanding artists and choirs all over the United States. You once told us: “The 98th Psalm is my testimony”, and that “My commitment to the work has to be because the Lord has done marvelous things, and because He has been consistently faithful. He has done more for me than I have done for myself.” We have all witnessed your commitment, faithfulness, dedication, passion, and perseverance in your anointed music ministry across at least five decades. Your songs have inspired, comforted, enriched, enhanced, and uplifted us in worship and along life’s journey, to which I say To God be the Glory for the great work that He has done in you and through you! God says you are…UNIQUE (Psalm 139:13), SPECIAL (Ephesians 2:10), LOVELY (Daniel 12:3), VIRTUOUS (Proverbs 31:10-31), PRECIOUS (I Corinthians 6:20, Psalm 18:35, CHOSEN (John 15:16) and FORGIVEN (Psalm 103:12). On this special day, I wish you all the very best, all the joy, peace, and love you can ever have, bountiful blessings and “strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow” and all the days to come. With Love, Jimmie James Abbington, DMA, FHS Associate Professor of Church Music and Worship, Emory University
