about

I'm drawing a couple threads together here that may or may not be related to the same person. There's an unnamed young man in Mark's gospel who runs away naked as Jesus is arrested; and there's a Mark in Acts to apparently needed to leave Paul and company on one of the missionary journeys. So if it was the same man, what were his fears, and how did he deal with those?

lyrics

Standing in the back again, But I still see it all
Push and shove of others, With you there still and small
I remember a crowd of thousands Across the greening hills
They turned and loved the bloodstains when tired of the thrills

How My fears catch my out again
and I’m caught running naked from the scene
I’m a smoldering wick again
wondering if you’ll ever see
Will I hide here forever then,
or will you come and cover me, cover me?

Watching waiting willing, but they turn and walk away
I know it’s me that shattered, are they only preaching grace?

Then My fears catch my out again
and I’m caught running naked from the scene
I’m a smoldering wick again
wondering if you’ll ever see
Will I hide here forever then,
or will you come and cover me, cover me?

And all of those times I’d sit and smile
With the crowd that I never did fit in
All the great minds, and all the uphill climbs
And the long lonely letters with my sin

Still my fears catch my out again
and I’m caught running naked from the scene
I’m a smoldering wick again
wondering if you’ll ever see
Will I hide here forever then,
or will you come and cover me, cover me?
