"Go Rest High On That Mountain / The Dance" 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

Lookin' back
On the memory of
The dance we shared
Beneath the stars above
For a moment
All the world was right
How could I have known
That you'd ever say goodbye?

And now, I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'da had to miss
The dance

So go rest high on that mountain
Cause Son your work on earth is done
So go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son

So go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
