My dad picked out this song and we played it at Jason's funeral. It is such a great song written by Vince Gill who originally began writing it as a tribute to Keith Whitley (first verse), but Vince did not finish it until years later -- after the death of his own brother (second verse). It is one of the most moving songs I know. Vince could not have done a better job at putting thoughts to words. Jas, miss you more than ever brother!
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 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 Son
