In the summer of 2016, country singer Craig Morgan found himself in the middle of every parent’s worst nightmare. His 19-year-old son, Jerry, passed away following a tubing accident on Kentucky Lake in Tennessee.
One evening, Craig found himself coping with his heartbreak through song. He told People that he woke up in the middle of the night and started writing the entire chorus of a new song about Jerry.
“It was 2:30 in the morning and there I was – singing the entire chorus in my head before I even woke up enough to put the words down on paper.”
That song became what we now know as “The Father, My Son, and the Holy Ghost.” Craig introduced the song during an appearance at the Grand Ole Opry in July 2019.
