Go Rest High On That Mountain

✕

I know your life on earth was troubled

And only you could know the pain

You weren't afraid to face the devil

You were no stranger to the rain

Go rest high on that mountain

Son, your work on earth is done

Go to heaven a shoutin'

Love for The Father, and The Son

Oh, how we cried the day you left us

We gathered round your grave to grieve

I wish I could see the angels faces

When they hear your sweet voice sing

Go rest high on that mountain

Son, your work on earth is done

Go to heaven a shoutin'

Love for The Father, and The Son

Vince Gill Lyrics

"Go Rest High On That Mountain"

I know your life
On earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain

[Chorus:]
Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son

Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing

[Chorus]

You're safely home in the arms of Jesus
Eternal life, my brother's found
The day will come, I know I'll see you
That sacred place on that Holy ground

'Cause son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
