Part of a concept album where I write a song from the perspective of one of the people in each chapter of the book of Mark.
Mark 4 (Disciples)
Capo 7 (open hi E)
C G
We hear the words, but we don’t know what you mean
C G
There was something about soil and lamps and seeds
Am Em
Maybe you could see fit to intervene?
Fmaj7 D/F#
Give us your interpretation that we need
You keep speaking riddles we can’t figure out
Are we the rocky ground, is that what it’s about?
You keep saying that we need the ears to hear
We keep waiting for the answers to appear
Interlude Am F Em B7
Are we the ones who hear but never understand?
Again, again we come to listen to this man
Are we the ones who will look but never see?
We may not get it but we trust the one who speaks

From a storyteller's perspective: what a great source of relatable characters and situations. From a faith perspective: What a great way to unpack and meditate on the gospel.
