Acoustic Cover Of 'Go Rest High On That Mountain' From Muscadine Bloodline

Country group Muscadine Bloodline perform an acoustic cover of ‘Go Rest High On That Mountain’ at the Nashville Vineyard Church in Nashville, Tennessee.

This popular song was made famous by Vince Gill. He started writing the song back in 1989 after the death of fellow country artist Keith Whitley.

Even though Vince was inspired to write down the lyrics, it would take years before he was able to finally finish the special tune. Once the song was released, it quickly climbed to the top of the music charts.

‘Go Rest High On That Mountain’ went on to win 2 Grammy awards and CMA's Song of the Year award in 1996. Over the years, the lyrics of the song 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.”

Today, Muscadine Bloodline performs a special acoustic rendition of this powerful song. This stripped down version truly makes each and every word that much more impactful.

But it’s such a comfort to know that even when we lose a loved one, they are in a better place in Heaven. Remember these words when you or someone you know may be going through a difficult season of life.
