Country superstar Vince Gill honors the late Loretta Lynn with a special performance of ‘Go Rest High On That Mountain’ at the Grand Ole Opry.

‘Go Rest High On That Mountain’ was made famous by Vince back in the 1990s. He started writing the song back in 1989 after the death of fellow country artist Keith Whitley.

Despite being inspired to write down the lyrics, it would take years before Vince 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 the Country Music Association'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.”

On October 4, 2022 country music icon Loretta Lynn died at the age of 90. After decades in the spotlight, Loretta truly left a lasting legacy that will continue to live on.

Today, fellow country artist Vince Gill honors this incredible artist with a powerful performance of ‘Go Rest High On That Mountain.’

Joined by Opry members Bill Anderson, Ricky Skaggs, Riders In The Sky and Steve Wariner and fellow cast Chapel Hart and Deana Carter, they belt out these heartfelt lyrics.

“Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance”

Loretta will surely be missed. 

Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
