Mark Bishop

The Song in My Heart
Traditional/Sonlite Records

Mark Bishop may be the pre-eminent storyteller in southern gospel music today. For years, his writing and singing abilities were showcased on recordings by his family group, the Bishops. His first solo release continued that trend and established Mark as a credible artist in his own right. Mark’s latest recording, “The Song in My Heart,” offers the listener an excellent sampling of Mark’s talents as a songwriter and singer.

Mark wrote all 10 songs on this recording, and it would be a challenge to find a weak link in this musical chain. The recording opened with an invocation and ends with a prayer — a nice set of bookends for this collection of writings from Mark.

If you like material that is thought provoking, emotional, spiritual and simply enjoyable, then “The Song in My Heart” is a must for your musical library. The stories that Mark Bishop shares from his heart will undoubtedly find a home in your heart, too.
