In a touching appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, country music artist James Morgan performed his poignant new single, “The Father, My Son and the Holy Ghost.” This deeply emotional song serves as a tribute to his son, who tragically lost his life in a boating accident three years ago. The performance left the audience in tears, including notable figures like Blake Hudson and Eva Mendez, who were moved by the song’s beautiful yet heartbreaking lyrics.
James’s son, Ryan Morgan, went missing on July 10, 2016, after a tubing incident on Kentucky Lake, close to their family home. Despite wearing a life jacket, Ryan did not resurface, and after an extensive search, his body was recovered the following day. The moment James sang the song’s final lines, his voice trembled with profound emotion, reflecting the depth of his loss:
“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
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.”
The heartfelt performance resonated with everyone present, and Kelly Clarkson, Blake Hudson, and Eva Mendez visibly reacted to the raw emotion of the song.
In an earlier interview, James shared how faith has sustained his family during their grief. Instead of focusing solely on music, he found solace in wood carving, which eventually led to the establishment of a family business, the Gallery at Morgan Farms in Dickson, Tennessee. Their journey of healing and creativity is featured in the series Morgan Family Strong on UP TV.
James’s wife, Sarah Morgan, expressed the importance of faith in navigating their struggles. “As a family, we hope that the audience can see the essence of faith and know that you can pull yourself together to create something meaningful, and contribute positively to the world,” she shared.
