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.”
A collection of Mark’s most requested songs on one CD, plus two brand new songs!
A folksy collaboration between Mark Bishop and his two daughters which bridges across the boundaries of genre lines. One of the most pure and exhilarating albums you’ll ever hear. Here are a few reviews…
“Forget the Sea’s brand of folk music is both fun and beautiful…” - JesusFreakHideout
“The first word that came to my mind when I first listened to this album was 'fresh'.” - Preston/Amazon Reviewer
“No one can write like Mark Bishop. I don’t say that to put him on a pedestal above other writers, it’s just that he has a unique way of bringing thoughts together in a song that you will only hear in one of his lyrics.” - Lynn’sChronicles
“Mark Bishop and Forget the Sea is such a refreshing, worshipful experience. As a fan of Mark Bishop for nearly three decades, I think it’s his best project ever!” - MrsRLB74-iTunes Reviewer

Ten toe-tapping songs of glory and hope… new stories of faith and salvation… like only Mark can write and sing. Straight upon the heels of last year’s successful album I Still Need Him, which produced three huge radio hits and another #1 song, this brand new recording picks up the blessings right where that album left off.
Take Me Back to That Place You’re Talking to Somebody Who Already Knows I Can Rejoice Good Things Happen When People Pray An Old Stone the Lord Rolled Away Oh My They Can’t Receive Their Reward It Wouldn’t Bother Me to Be the Last Heaven Knows Let Jesus Know All About It
Mark marks his tenth year as a soloist in 2011, and he does it with the strongest collection of songs in his solo career. I Still Need Him has everything you expect from a Mark Bishop project—touching stories about the overlooked characters of life, thought-provoking songs of encouragement, and magnificent ballads.
But there’s more.
From the catchy newgrass sounds of “I’m Listening For the Call” (the #1 Song for May 2012) to the James Taylor-esque sounds of “Are You Goin’ Where I’m Goin,” Mark ventures into new musical territory—with his distinctive Kentucky Bluegrass-tinged Gospel twist.

I Still Need Him It’s My Turn Your Easter Sunday Is On It’s Way That’s The Sound Of A House Being Built On Love One Drop Of Blood Became A River
Ten Mark Bishop written songs, including the hit song Pray on the Little Days (aka “Let God Be God!). Features Mark’s brand of story-telling in song, with great guest vocals by Southern Gospel’s cream-of-the-crop.
Some reviews…
“What is most glowing about Mark Bishop’s latest release “This is What It’s All About” is that it gives us glasses to see the bigness of God in every day happenstances.” - Timothy Yap-Hallels.com
“His lyrics are a work of art. The music… is just as good. I have never heard one of Mark’s songs and thought, “That could have been orchestrated better.” Nope. Definitely not on any of the songs on this CD either. Everything is quality through and through.” - Lynn’sChronicles.com
“You just need Mark Bishop’s music in your life.” - Linda K. Miller-Amazon reviewer

The Fields of Love is Mark Bishop’s first concept album. Subtitled A Musical Journey of Faith in the Heartland, it tells the story of a father and a son, and a family devastated by the loss of the wife/mother.
