Mark Bishop Says It’s “Time To Let Go and Let God”

"How do we get ourselves into the situations we find ourselves in?" That question informs the thoughtful message of "Time To Let Go and Let God," the latest single from Sonlite Records' masterful Southern Gospel singer and songwriter, Mark Bishop.
"It seems like, even if you try to make the best decisions you can, day after day, even that is not enough to keep you from hardship and trouble. The best people I know... people who are kind and thoughtful and mindful of their actions and considerate of the people around them... I still see them going through hard times.
"We need a helper in times of trouble. That's where God comes in."
Indeed, where Bishop's previous single framed its affirmation with lush orchestration, "Time To Let Go and Let God" uses a simmering, soulful groove, wailing harmonica, gritty guitar and illuminating flashes of organ to convey those times of trouble and doubt, as Bishop's urgent lead is surrounded by harmonies from Freddie Ratliff, Victoria Bowlin and Lauren Talley, articulating its simple question:
Don't you think it's time to let go and let God?
Don't you think it's time to let go and let God?
You've been holding on so long, now your strength is nearly gone.
Let Go and let God.
"If you're tired of pain and stress and worry," says Bishop, "God says, 'Come to me and I will give you rest.' Don't you think it's time to stop fighting the battle alone? Don't you think it's time to just let go?"
"Time To Let Go and Let God" is streaming in Dolby Atmos spatial audio on Apple Music, Amazon Music and TIDAL. Listen to it HERE.
