Arden, North Carolina (July 11, 2025) — Sonlite Records’ Mark Bishop reminded listeners of his vivid imaginative skills as a songwriter with his last single, “Now Lazarus Can Sing.” Now, the popular Southern Gospel singer has issued a reminder of the depth and finesse that he brings to his writing with “There’s A Medicine For That,” an extended revelation of a simple yet profound analogy set in a soulful arrangement.

“The longer you live,” Bishop observes, “the more you begin to realize that everyone you know is going through something. Everyone is dealing with some sort of stress or worry, pain or grief. As much as we would like to say the right words, or pitch in and try to help, we soon realize that we don’t have the power to change the situation.

“I’ve recently had some health issues of my own,” he continues, “and was soon aware that even with insurance, the doctor bills keep coming in. But there is also a doctor who listens to us for free.”

Produced by award-winning producer Jeff Collins, who pulls triple duty with flourishes of both piano and organ, “There’s A Medicine For That” frames Bishop’s thorough exploration of this powerful insight:

I know everybody needs Him, there’s no immunity.
Sooner or later life will cut you to the bone.
If it’s pain or grief or worry, He sees the depths of your heart.
Whatever the ailment, when your last hope is gone…

There’s a medicine for that when times have been tough
There are people who’ve been praying and lifting you up
There’s a medicine for that, there’s peace for your soul.
There’s a remedy for a broken heart, He wants you to know.
That wherever you’re at
There’s a medicine, a medicine for that.

With a simmering background reminiscent of African-American gospel classics — and a heartfelt “choir” of Lauren Talley, Freddie Ratliff and 11th Hour’s Victoria Bowlin“There’s A Medicine For That” is a timely reminder of the healing that Christ’s mercy brings to believers.

“He listens to us and He knows the exact medicine we need,” says Bishop. “And whatever we bring to him, He looks at us and says, ‘There’s a medicine for that.’ His name is Jesus, and He’s always on call."

"There's A Medicine For That" is streaming in Dolby Atmos spatial audio on Apple Music, Amazon Music and TIDAL. Listen to it HERE.

About Mark Bishop
Mark Bishop is a Grammy-nominated, Dove Award-winning Christian music artist who resides in east-central Kentucky with his wife Carolyn. In 2024, Mark celebrates a forty-year career in Gospel Music as a recording artist and songwriter.

A music reviewer once said, “Mark Bishop’s music gives us the glasses to see the bigness of God in everyday happenstance.” Linda, an Amazon reviewer said simply, “You just need Mark Bishop’s music in your life.”

In 1984, along with his father and brother, The Bishops began a recording and touring career that would span seventeen years, reaching millions for Christ. The family enjoyed appearances on popular TV programs such as TNN’s Nashville Now, Crooke and Chase, The Grand Ole Opry, The World Today with John Hagee, The Bill Gaither Homecoming video series and many more. They were blessed with twenty-seven Top 40 songs, numerous #1 songs, along with countless awards and industry recognitions.

In 2020, Mark’s “Beautiful Day” album was a Top-5 Grammy nominee for “Best Roots Gospel Album”. In 2022 he was the recipient of the “J.D.
