This live performance by Fortune, Walker, Rogers, and Isaacs of 'Go Rest High On That Mountain' is a poignant gospel song about grief and the hope of heaven. The lyrics speak to a departed loved one who faced earthly troubles and pain, now at peace with God. It expresses sorrow at the grave but also joy imagining the angels hearing their voice. The song comforts by affirming that their work on earth is done and they are resting in God's presence.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

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.
