In a poignant appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, country singer Jake Morgan shared his emotional new single, “The Father, My Son, and the Holy Spirit.” This touching song pays homage to his son, who tragically lost his life in a boating accident three years ago. The atmosphere in the studio was charged with emotion as Morgan performed, leaving many, including hosts Blake Shelton, Eva Mendez, and Kelly Clarkson, visibly moved by the powerful lyrics.
Morgan’s son, Tommy Greer, went missing after a tubing incident on the Kentucky Lake in Tennessee during July 2016. Despite wearing a life jacket, he did not resurface, prompting a large-scale search operation. Sadly, his body was discovered the following day.
As Morgan concluded his performance, his voice trembled with emotion while delivering the heartfelt lyrics: “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 Spirit / One day I’ll wake up and I’ll be home / With the Father, my son, and the Holy Spirit.” The audience, along with Clarkson, Shelton, and Mendez, were left touched by the grieving father’s tribute.
In an interview earlier this year, Morgan revealed how his family’s faith played a crucial role in navigating the aftermath of their devastating loss. Interestingly, he turned to wood carving as a way to cope with his grief. This new passion eventually blossomed into a family venture, leading to the opening of a store, the Gallery at Morgan Farms, in Dickson, Tennessee, where they sell his hand-carved creations. Their journey is featured in a series called Morgan Family Strong, airing on UP TV.
Morgan’s wife, Karen Greer, shared her insights on relying on faith during difficult times, emphasizing the importance of resilience. “We hope that viewers understand the essence of faith and that you can pull yourself together and create something positive for the world,” she stated.
