The five members of Home Free performs a stunning a cappella cover of ‘Go Rest High On That Mountain.’
The Story Behind ‘Go Rest High On That Mountain’
The song was written by Vince Gill in the 1990s. He began writing the song back in 1989 after the death of fellow country artist Keith Whitley.
But even after the lyrics were written, it took Vince years to complete the melody. It’s no wonder the song quickly climbed to the top of the music charts after its release.
‘Go Rest High On That Mountain’ went on to win two Grammy awards and the Country Music Association’s Song of the Year award in 1996. Over the years, the lyrics have provided peace and comfort to many hearts around the world.
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.
