New Version of “Go Rest High on That Mountain” with Added Verse
“In all these years of singing that song, truthfully, it felt just the slightest bit incomplete to me,” Gill stated while introducing the song. “I always thought it needed to tie itself up in some way…I didn’t know if this was a good idea or not, but I wrote one more verse for this song. I’m debuting it here at the Ryman auditorium. I love this place. It’s my church.”
This song was written by Vince Gill.
Vince Gill Go Rest High on that Mountain Lyrics
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
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
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
Go to heaven a-shoutin’
Love for the Father and the Son
“You’re safely home in the arms of Jesus / Eternal life, my brother’s found / The day will come I know I’ll see him / In that sacred place, on that holy ground.”
