Craig Morgan - The Father, My Son, And The Holy Ghost Lyrics






Lights are shining bright, it's always downtown on the road
I have friends that come from outta town asking me to go
They say, "There's so much going on,
Why don't you come along and show us around?"

I tell them Karen's not feeling well so I probably shouldn't go out
Besides I've gotta fix a list of things I need to do around the house
Then I hang up the phone, turn the radio back on, and sit back down
I know my boy ain't here but he ain't gone

In the morning I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen
Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition
Go outside, sit by myself but I ain't alone
I've got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost

I've been beat up, I been pushed and shoved but never really knocked down
Between mom and dad, Uncle Sam and friends I somehow always pulled out
But the pain of this was more
Than I'd ever felt before, yeah I was broke

I cried and cried and cried until I passed out on the floor
Then I prayed and prayed and prayed till I thought I couldn't pray anymore
And minute by minute, day by day, my God, He gave me hope
I know my boy ain't here but he ain't gone

In the mornings I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen
Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition
Go outside, sit by myself but I ain't alone
See, I've got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost

I hope, I love, I pray, I cry
I heal a little more each day inside
I won't completely heal till I go home

In the morning I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen
Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition
Go outside, sit by myself but I ain't alone
I've got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost
One day I'll wake up and I'll be home
With the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost

    Ricky Davis i love this song so powerful

  43. C.... W....

    You sang my life brother. Praise God. I haven’t lost a son but I’ve lost a lot. If I did lose a child and didn’t have faith I’d die.

  44. M.... L....

    This resonates with so many of us who’ve lost children. this Wednesday 12/18 would have been my sons 23rd Bday we lost him in a motorcycle accident 2/14/17

  45. B.... ....

    Miss my Corrin. 3-11-2001 taken by a drunk driver at 3 months old. Never a day goes by it doesn't hurt inside. If there's only one law i ever vowed to enforce to the teeth it's driving intoxicated. I never ever want to deliver the pain that was delivered to me that morning.

  46. j.... l....

    This song is so very real to how this grief feels. Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute. This song is my heart put to music and it helps.

  47. J.... B....

    So powerful! Im so glad god gave you the strength go share your story and carry on your sons name through your music ❤

  48. w.... ....

    I Love-Love this song it's so touching it moved me to tears I have lost my husband this year 2019 and it's hard for me to try to move forward but I just have too cause he wouldn't want me to give up on life, as I still hold my broken heart in both of my hands but I am trying to find a way to keep moving forward by talking to God and Jesus and my husband to give me the strength to move forward cause I do have my husbands dog and my dog to live for cause they do need me and I need them... This song is so moving in a way the Holy Ghost finds a way to give us the strength, Craig Morgan had to wright and to sing this song it's an inner light that comes with the true love we have for the person that has passed away he had to write this song to help others heal and himself to heal as well how amazing is that God Bless him in all he does this is So moving... Amen...

    I'm sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful song. Praise God you walk close to him. Again beautiful song.

  53. R.... E....

    This song hits the heart. I lost my son 16 years ago.

  54. D.... R....

    There's Devine intervention in this song. Craig dreamed the melody. He said he wrote it in 4 hours. The organic quality of the lyrics is very evident. This song is a gift to us all.

  55. L.... L....

    I lost my precious son 4 years ago to suicide he would have been 39 on Christmas. My life has never been the same it just doesn't feel real. I always wait for the phone calls, text messages or just showing up for a visit. It's been a extremely lonely time my heart is still broken in pieces and I feel so empty. I ache for the day I see my son again it doesn't come soon enough.

  56. b.... r....

    My goodness I love me some Craig morgan

  57. R.... R....

    I'm so moved by this song 💕

  58. H.... ....

    This song made me tear up.thank you for writing this song. I'm sorry you had go through this no one deserves to go through this. God gave you an amazing talent. You can reach out to people. You make people feel like they're not alone in their gief. My husband died 25 of july 2019. We have a 6 month baby now. I'm so grateful to have him . I know his dad is in heaven but it feels like I have a part of him. Our son is everything to me . I know I'll loose my mind if I didn't have him . I thank God for him every day.

  59. B.... S....

    Was on my way back state side from Nanticoke Ontario with a load of diesel when this song came on in my truck. Cried for about 30 minutes straight. Miss you Kenzie. 10/31/2008. Love you baby girl.

  60. K.... N....

    If you dislike this!!! You need to live in the Middle East and die like the rest of stupid people

  61. 2.... ....

    I have never heard a song that is point on as to what i go through on a daily basis.Thank you so much Craig Morgan for this song and God Bless you.

  62. A.... ....

    Great song for anyone who’s lost a child. I lost two in miscarriage. I know I’ll see him/her again one day. I won’t be healed all the way until then.

  63. c.... p....

    211 idiots disliked this song? Wow. One of the most heartfelt songs ever straight from his heart.

  64. A.... B....

    All I can say is wow 😪🙏

  65. J.... W....

    God Bless You, Craig Morgan, one of the hardest-hitting songs I’ve ever heard. It takes a hell of a man to sing about the loss of a loved one and to boot, your child. The old saying goes, You're not supposed to bury your children, as only God knows how hard it is for each of us to Bury our parents. No amount of prayers can stop God when he calls their numbers to him. Amen...

  66. G.... W....

    I remember hearing on the news that His son had died in a boating accident. I called my cousin and asked if he had heard about it as he and Craig are friends. Cousin hadn’t heard . He called Craig and verified it. It tore my cousin up. Can’t imagine how Craig was feeling. This song is special and should be #1! Gonna touch a lot of lives!

  67. X.... C....

    Bet that’s the song of the year only heart felt thing I’ve heard that’s my guy

  68. K.... ....

    God Bless You, Craig! Beautuful song. We pray for God to help you carry on.

  69. Q.... T....

    My husbands best friend just lost his 7 year old daughter. They were best friends growing up and didn’t talk for years. Turns out we both had daughters named Brooklynn spelled the same and both 7 years old. They loved to play together and now she’s gone forever. I can’t imagine the pain her daddy feels.

  70. i.... ....

    Nothing but LOVE for this Man 💙❤️✨

  71. B.... H....

    Man u cn feel the spirit while singing this ❤

  72. A.... W....

    What happened??

  73. M.... L....

    This song has helped me so much since my precious daughter, Corporal Erin Rachel Lilley-Fogle, who proudly served in the USMC at Parris Island, SC was killed October 11, 2019 when she stopped to help someone that had been involved in a car accident and was hit by another vehicle. God bless you and your family, Craig Morgan. You will be in my prayers. Thank you so much for this song and how it has blessed me and brought some peace. Someday, we will both be home with your precious son and my precious daughter. I can't wait until that day comes....I love you my sweet Erin Rachel.

  74. p.... k....

    the emotions that cut right through one's soul and peer into another one's soul with such a gripping connection are absolutely phenomenal. the pain is so great for Craig a hardened Airborn ranger green beret. and this is so powerful to him that it brought him to his knees.

    God Bless you Craig and may you find peace in all of the memories you have of your son

  75. R.... L....

    God bless you Craig

  76. l.... 9....

    The strength is took to be able to sing this without his voice cracking is astounding in itself.

  77. S.... ....

    Oh my GOD.. It just took me this long to realize when he says Uncle sam, he meant MILITARY! I could just slap myself I cannot believe I thought he meant a real uncle named Sam! Uncle Sam is a military term, and he IS a vet! Fuck! I feel like such a dumbass!

  78. C.... W....

    This is beautiful. Losing a child is the worst pain. You are honoring your son and all the parents who have lost a child. My folks included. God Bless you and your family.

  79. L.... I....

    Love you heart, very precious, beautiful voice.

  80. H.... ....

    Life’s moments are the one value in life that you can’t plan for. For everybody out there, enjoy the moments you have and treasure them. “Time is one thing in life you can’t stop, so make the most of it” R.I.P Morgan Jr. 🙏🏻

  81. A.... B....

    This song really sharpens the stinging pain my heart feels. The pain of a parent losing a child is awful. The fact that Craig Morgan turned his pain into hope, it is so inspiring. “The pain of this was pain I’ve never felt before. Yeah, I was broke. I cried and cried and cried until I passed out on the floor... Then I prayed and prayed and prayed until I couldn’t pray no more..”

    It is truly amazing what music can do to a person. This song breaks me every time I listen to it. The pure pain in his voice, longing for his son.. Having hope. Still keeping his faith. I hope someday I’m that strong.

    A.... B....

    Amber Butler well said and I’m sorry 🙏

  82. L.... ....

    I might not be Christian but I saw him sing this live in concert and the pain and grief surpasses religion. Idk y someone would dislike this bc it's sooo heartbreaking & real.

    I have walked in your shoes....thank you for enriching my life with this song

  86. J.... B....

    I know this is his story, but it speaks to us all. Everytime I listen to it, I always get choked up. I know with the Holidays upon us, just remember someone loves you and is thinking of you. Pick up the phone, call that loved one or go see them and say hello tell them how much you love them.

  87. T.... B....

    Love you Craig Morgan ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
