He Said It All
Rose Among The Thorns

Come Unto Me
Saw A Lot Of Happy People
But Then I Saw Him On The Cross

The Angels Know My Name
Somebody In Heaven
With The Spirit Of The Lord Inside
I Talk To Him In Prayer
I Can See Forever From Here 
The Fields of Love
 

The Fields of Love, subtitled "A Musical Journey of Faith in the Heartland" is the story of a father and son devastated by the loss of their wife/mother. The songs weave a story that spans the broad spectrum of human experience - despair, a pivotal tent revival, and redemption.

Everyday
 

Fresh off the success of being named Soloist of the Year in the 2005 Singing News Fan Awards, Bishop brings a fresh vigor to Everyday, resulting in a project acclaimed as his strongest solo release yet. Bishop penned all ten songs, including the top 10 radio hits "With Me Always" (a duet with Lauren Talley that hit #3 in December 2006) and "Remember Who He Is, Remember What He Does" (#6 in May 2007).

Christmas Time Is Here
 

It's a Christmas recording that sounds like a Christmas recording.  Loaded with rich arrangements of Mark's favorite Christmas songs that he grew up with, this recording makes you want to fix some hot cocoa and start trimming the tree. Merry Christmas!

     
The Christmas Song   Lyrics
Go Tell It On The Mountain   Lyrics

Silent Night   Lyrics
There Is Love...Then There Is His Love
 

The stellar follow-up recording to Can I Pray For You continued to showcase Mark's talents as a songwriter and vocalist. "Bring Lazarus Back" offers a thought provoking look at Lazarus being raised from dead.  "Jesus Listens" is "as smooth as a gravy sandwich" musically, with a message that is just a easily digested. 

Can I Pray For You?

 

This is the recording that firmly established Mark as one of Southern Gospel Music's top singer/songwriters. Mark is the only soloist in Southern Gospel Music history to have written, sung, and produced two Number One songs from the same recording. Can I Pray For You is Mark's signature recording as a soloist.

The Song In My Heart
 

A poignant collection of lyrics and melodies from the heart of Mark Bishop. Experience the sounds of Southern Gospel in a way that is uniquely Mark Bishop with this one of a kind recording. Features the radio single, "Cloud Nine Headed for Ten" and the powerful epic of  "Son of a Carpenter."

Faith, Family & Friends
 

Mark's debut solo release gives you an introduction to Mark as a soloist and some musical foreshadowing of what lay ahead for Mark's solo career.  Solid songs, including the Top Ten radio hit  "Jesus Will Lift You Up" and the fan favorite parody, "Bottled Water."
