This year will be my 40th year of writing and recording Christian music. In four decades of traveling, I have performed literally thousands of concerts across our country and have seen many people give their hearts to Christ. Whether it's in a small country church or a large arena, the message has always been the same for us: "Jesus Christ gave his life on Calvary's cross for a purpose. That purpose was to provide grace for the sins of every man and woman."
If you have been searching for meaning in life, Jesus said in the Bible, "Come unto me when you are weary and I will give you rest."
Everyone gets weary. Everyone is going through something. It doesn't matter who you are, everybody has days where it seems like they are just barely holding on. But can I tell you that Jesus cares? There is an answer to the emptiness you feel.
"I don't know how to give hope...hope to the hopeless.
I don't know how to drive away the rain.
I don't know about tomorrow, but I know who holds the future.
I know someone who knows about the pain.
I don't know how to comfort someone who is hurting;
Someone who has lost someone they love.
I don't know how to put a broken heart back together.
What I don't know how to do, Jesus does."

GRAMMY NOMINEE Here’s what reviewer Lynn Mills of The Singing News had to say about this newest collection of Mark Bishop songs… “In the midst of all the negative goings-on in our world, Mark Bishop has brought some bright and positive lyrics to us in his new project Beautiful Day. Every album Mark releases has thought-provoking lyrics, but Beautiful Day could be his best yet for the truth wrapped up in each lyric.” - Hallel’s.com

Eleven Mark Bishop written songs with guest vocals by The Kingdom Heirs, Chris Freeman on a song that takes you back to the days of The Hinsons, and a special guest appearance by Kenneth Bishop, his first time back in the recording studio in nearly twenty years.
Here’s what reviewer Timothy Yap had to say about A Different Light in a Hallel’s review: “Mark Bishop is a storyteller extraordinaire. With a keening eye towards the minute details of life’s happenstance, Bishop flourishes a three-dimensional realism in his story-songs that we can’t help but be drawn in, not as a spectator, but as a member of the story’s plot-line. Over the years, he has crafted an oeuvre of such narrative songs that has set him out in the sea of Southern Gospel singer-songwriters.”
After 40 years, now available for the first time in digital format, the first ever recording by the Bishops: "He Gave His Life." Originally recorded as a gift for Granny Bishop, these ten songs launched the Bishops to the heights of Southern Gospel Music success as one of its most beloved trios. Now celebrating 40 years in gospel music, Mark Bishop has decided to make this recording available to his fans for a limited time giving many the opportunity to hear this recording for the very first time.
