Sing Along with Brad presents: "Go Rest High on That Mountain." A 2023 Demo of the 1995 Classic.

Hi Everyone,
Here's a 'gospel-esque' demo. I just recorded last week.
Let's dedicate this - to the relatives and friends .. who have left us.
(But really haven't.)

Not sure why some call this one .. sad.
To me - this song is about as 'uplifting' as it gets.

Thanks for listening.
Brad

"Go Rest High on That Mountain"
Written and recorded in 1995 by Vince Gill. It's a 'eulogy' ballad.
Following the passing of his older brother.

Gill added a 3rd verse (*) in 2019.
“Yeah, it doesn’t make much sense, does it?” he said. "Just leave it alone, you idiot!"
"But in my heart, I think this verse makes it better.”

"Go Rest High on That Mountain"

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.

(*) 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.
