Introduction

“Go Rest High on That Mountain” is one of those songs that feels like a warm embrace during life’s toughest moments. Originally penned by country music artist Vince Gill, he began writing it after the passing of fellow musician Keith Whitley in 1989. However, it wasn’t until his own brother’s death in 1993 that Gill found the resolve to complete the song, pouring his grief and hope into every line.

Lyrics

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.
I wish I could see the angels faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing.
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.

Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood stepped onto the stage, no spotlight needed—just a guitar, their voices, and a promise to keep. With nothing but raw emotion and soft, steady strums, they paid tribute to Jimmy Carter the way he asked them to: by pouring every ounce of love and memory into John Lennon’s “Imagine.” The room fell completely still. No flashing lights, no grand production—just the kind of silence that only happens when everyone is holding their breath. The song, stripped bare and personal, echoed like a prayer, their voices weaving together in a way that felt more like family than performance. This was the song Jimmy Carter loved. The one he wanted—not just for his beloved wife’s funeral, but now, fittingly, for his own. He didn’t ask for much, but he asked for this. And they delivered it like a final love letter to a man who lived with purpose, led with grace, and never stopped believing in something better
