Mark Bishop has been singing and writing songs for a long time.  I have been a fan of Mark's writing since I first began hearing his songs with The Bishops.  He remains a talented soloist and a top notch songwriter and his latest project includes ten awesome and new Mark Bishop songs.

"Abundant Sunshine" is the title of the project and of the first song.  It is a uniquely written song as many of Mark's are.  The message is terrific.  "This Is Where Needed Things Are Found" is a song that tells an all too familiar story in this world but it also reminds us that in Jesus, we can find whatever we need.  "I Can Think Of One" is a really cool song the way Mark put it together.  "Put Wings Upon Your Problem" is the current hit single from this project.  It reminds us of the power in prayer!

"Thomas Why Do You Doubt" is the next song and it runs through the story of the doubting Thomas!  The next song on the project is titled "You Get Back Each Single Minute."  This is a touching song that you need to listen to a couple of times to get the message of.  It is a great song though and deserves the time to listen to it!  The tempo picks up as "God's Got A Whole Lot Of Love" is sung by Mark.  You will love this upbeat song.

"The Patience Of The Angels" is one of those Mark Bishop ballads that we have been listening to for years.  "Mean Mean People" is an interesting song title and it reminds us that we need to show a little more love towards others in our daily life.  The next song is titled "Written On A Tree" and it is a song that will touch you.  The final song is the final verse of "Abundant Sunshine."

It seems that with each new project, Mark Bishop's ministry grows just a little more.  This project is an awesome collection of Mark Bishop written and performed songs.  Mark has a very unique and recognizable style to his writing and singing and it shines through on "Abundant Sunshine."  My favorite songs from the project are "God's Got A Whole Lot Of Love," "I Can Think Of One" and "You Get Back Each Single Minute."  This project is first class all of the way from the songs to the performances to the production and artwork.  For more information on Mark Bishop visit his website at www.markbishopmusic.com.
