Go Rest High On That Mountain

(Vince Gill)

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, you work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and 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, you work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and Son

The final track on this album is

Go Rest High On That Mountain.

It's exquisite and incredibly moving,

and was written in memory of Vince's

much loved brother Bob who died in

1993 of a heart attack after a hard life.

Sounding like a processional from a

church funeral, the song is simply

constructed, but Gill fills it with,

what many consider to be the most

passionate singing of his career. He

is joined by Patty Loveless and

Ricky Skaggs on the chorus.
