“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."
