Arden, North Carolina (June 18, 2025) — Southern Gospel music favorite and GRAMMY-nominated Mark Bishop is known for being a conscientious and inspired songwriter whose unique way of looking at things has led to powerful affirmations of faith and salvation.

Now, Bishop has released a lyric video for his latest release, “Now Lazarus Can Sing,” highlighting the craftsmanship he brings to each song he writes.
“I was watching the news as someone was being ushered through a bunch of shouting reporters, trying to get information from him,” Bishop recalls. “His people led him to a waiting car where he jumped in, and they took off. My songwriter brain kicked in, and for some reason I began to wonder about the story of Lazarus and the questions people would have lined up for hours to ask him.

“He had seen it. And he was standing right here in front of them. How could you not ask him what it was like? I’m sure what he saw was beyond description.”

“Just as important as what he saw… what about how he felt? He was a recipient of perfect love. He lost all of his worry… his doubt… his regrets… everything negative.

“He was no doubt the most changed man in the history of the world.

“And maybe,” the singer-songwriter concludes, “… just maybe… he brought back some other traits… a little bit of residue from heaven. That’s what this song is about; how heaven rubbed off on Lazarus.”
