Only Do I Know Your Voice

Be grace from You that I should ask,
Please lift me up from here!
This place where I now wallow low,
My pity far from clear.
For You alone do feel my heart,
Which aches as failures mount.
And only do I know Your Voice, in darkness when I shout!

Concealed beneath the words be praised

My Lord, above I ask,

The song of angel’s rings so clear

In hearts now still my soul downcast,
And only do I know Your Voice, in darkness when I shout

My spirit held beneath your throne

I rest my head upon your breast

To plead forgiveness for a life

Where once I lived a sordid past,
And only do I know Your Voice, in darkness when I shout
 

Now as the day draws near my heart,

And sleep it overtakes,

Darkness is a welcomed sight,

When lifting up this soul through grace

And only do I know Your voice, in darkness when I shout!
And only do I know Your Voice, so clear and without doubt.

An artist/writer as well as graduate of the University of South Carolina with degrees in journalism/20th Century American Literature, and retired senior executive of several international hotel/resort corporations, Johnny is the product of the south having been raised in the ever-changing transient lifestyle of a Carolina coastal resort. A point where he discovered, within his 300-year-old heritage and the world's dramatic social/cultural shifts during the late '60s to early 80’s an ambitious hunger and overwhelming curiosity to touch, see and become a participant in the virtually unlimited possibilities offered to those who wish for and seek life experiences. A journey which when hearing its details initially makes one a bit skeptical, questioning its validity as it is hard to imagine that incidents such as these may have crossed one man’s lifetime. This is the fodder required to step into zones exposing one's personal inner self, which many of his paintings and the words he writes do, openly. An ability to see and hear the tragic, beautiful, accomplished, exciting journey in a life free of inhibitions allowing others the opportunity to live vicariously and become, through his works, a part of its future. His larger works which have been featured in several Colorado and Fredericksburg Texas galleries and resorts have produced a number of collectors and fans. However, over the years, his paintings are mostly viewed by friends, enthusiastic new artist encountered on the streets or a small number of acquaintances he meets when dining in local cafés with his wife.
