Go Rest High On That Mountain

My husband and I just finished watching the documentary, Country Music, which I mentioned before.  I thought I’d post this song from the last segment, one of my favorites, which we played at my father’s funeral.

Vince Gill began writing this song after a friend (Keith Whitley, another country singer) died of alcohol poisoning, but didn’t finish it for several years.  When his older brother died he completed this song, and I’m sure it speaks to many, as it does to me.
