- Go Rest High On That Mountain LyricsI 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
So 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
So 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
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
So 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
So 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

They chose to play this song at my Pa's funeral. I cried and now three years ago today i am still crying just listening to this. So it means the world to me and I just hope that Pa made it to heaven peacefully and easily. I love him so much and i am thankful for the time that i got to have with him.

This song breaks my heart every time I hear it. It was played at my Dad's funeral. Dad was from the mountains of Bell county, Kentucky. And he was laid to rest on top of Pickering Mountain in Kettle Island, Kentucky. Grandma and Grandpa are laid to rest on the same mountain. Daddy always talked of going home. This was the last gift I will ever give him. He is finally back home. I miss he every day. He has been gone for 6 years and I still cry when I hear this song. I miss you Daddy.

Lost a wonderful uncle yesterday. Was asked by family to sing this song at his funeral, will be tough. I know that he believed in Jesus Christ as his savior and will go rest high on that mountain.

We know that the person that was being visited the day he passed knew he loved Jesus Christ but I know that this song fits both male and female. They will be missed and thought out frequently.
