Go Rest High On That Mountain' Acoustic Performance From Drew Parker

Rising country star Drew Parker performs an acoustic cover of the Vince Gill hit ‘Go Rest High On That Mountain.’

Vince started writing this iconic song back in 1989. After the death of fellow country artist Keith Whitley, he was inspired to write down the lyrics. But it would take years before Vince was able to finally finish the special tune.

Once the song was released, it quickly skyrocketed to the top of the charts. ‘Go Rest High On That Mountain’ went on to win 2 Grammy awards and CMA's Song of the Year award in 1996. The lyrics 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, up and coming country singer Drew Parker is performing this classic song at the Nashville Vineyard Church in Tennessee. His distinctive voice combines perfectly with the somber nature of ‘Go Rest High On That Mountain.’

This special acoustic performance truly brings out the impactful words of the tune. These lyrics are such an important reminder that even when we lose a loved one, they are truly in a better place with our Father in Heaven. This is such a touching performance from Drew Parker.
