Craig Morgan - The Father, My Son and The Holy Ghost (Reaction!) 

After this performance Craig walked off stage and said he would never do it again because it was too hard on him. Another country singer Ricky Scaggs told him he had to because so many people who have lost children need to hear it. He has only performed it live a handful of times. Such a beautiful song but man does it hurt to watch him struggle to get through this!! God Bless him!!

Craig said on the Kelly Clarkson that this song came to him in a dream. He got up and wrote it in 10 minutes.

This song almost broke me. Considering everything he’s already seen in life as a veteran and as a first responder I can only imagine the internal strength and faith he must have to stay so strong and positive. These people and their unvarnished truths are why I love country music.

Former military ... a true patriot who spent 8 1/2 years active duty with the 101st and 81st Airborne. He continued with his military career with an additional 6 1/2 years in the reserves. That's why the line where he references Uncle Sam. Blake Shelton, who is a very dear friend of Craig's withdrew his nomination for the CMT award, allowing Craig Morgan to receive it. Craig did indeed say that he would never perform this live again because of how difficult it was for him. He has since changed that, knowing how much the song has helped others suffering a similar loss, he does perform it at shows. A very touching performance of this is from the Kelly Clarkson show with Blake also there to watch Craig do this number, he barely made it through ... emotion getting the best of him at the end.

I still don’t know how Craig can ever get through this song. Like him I’ve lost a son suddenly and I cry every time I hear it.

My oldest son went to Jesus at 19. Totally felt this song. ❤.

Poor Craig tried so hard not to cry the whole performance, bless his heart!!! “Almost Home” by Craig is a MUST

What a great tribute to his son ❤ Another great song of his is “That’s what I Love About Sundays” I love his voice!

This was the 1st time Craig Morgan ever Performed that song after the song he walked backstage to one of his friends and asked him did you hear that And his friend replied with a head shake yes Craig looked at him with tears in his eyes and said good cause you'll never hear it again. He said it was one of the hardest songs that he ever had to sing and didn't think he would ever be able to sing again. But by singing it over and over it has gotten easier and he understands how much the song helps other people when they hear it so now he sings it all the time. God-bless you Craig Morgan.

Tough song. Craig has some very deep, well thought out songs. “Almost Home” from his early days is a masterpiece.

Craig is so incredible; I hope you will listen to "This Ain't Nothin'" and "Almost Home". The way he "paints" the pictures of his songs is phenomenal! Great reaction!

This is a tough one. Craig sings it so passionately. I cry every time I hear. Just an FYI, he was in the Army. You should definitely listen to more of his music.

I lost my son while he was serving our country in 2020. I knew of craig Morgan but had never heard this song until about 3 months after my sons passing. EVERYTHING he says in this song is what I went through and still am. I didn't want to hang out with my friends even though they were trying to just cheer me up. Every morning I go outside and say my prayers and talk to my son. I would kind of just go through the motions of living. Even though time has passed, it still hurts so incredibly bad and I miss him terribly. This song has helped me heal and am so grateful Craig decided to share this song. As for Craig Morgan please check out "Almost home" ita another beautiful song. I am really enjoying your channel, keep up the great work!

Craig Morgan is an incredible artist. And has many FANTASTIC songs. I honestly think the most inspirational one (for me anyway) is This ain't nothing. It's a song that really puts life in perspective. And sometimes we all need a little reminder of what he has to say.

Amazing that he even made it through this. Another heartfelt song he has is "This Ain't Nothing". And you my friend are not the only one tearing up.

Who else was waiting for him to stop the treadmill? You can't multi-task with this song... not possible. Thank you for your reaction. I'm so grateful you still have your daughter. The pain Craig must feel is enormous.

He is also a combat medic and volunteer firefighter. A truly good man. He has several other songs that you should check out.

I almost made it through this day without crying. Today would have been my sister’s 63rd birthday. She died from colon cancer 15 years ago. She was born 3 months premature and they told my parents she wouldn’t make it through the night. After 5 months in the hospital, they were able to bring her home. They found out sometime after that that she was deaf. She had to fight to live the second she was born and she fought really hard for 3 years after being diagnosed. I’m 3 years younger than her and we were extremely close. She helped me raise my daughter, who she told everyone was her daughter! Lol! She loved her so much and in fact, my daughter could sign before she could even talk because my sister took care of her while I worked. The sweetest/hardest thing about all of this is my sister was living with my daughter and me toward the end (she lived next door but we moved her in with us when she was really getting bad) and when my daughter came hime from school one day, my sister mustered everything she had and signed Happy Birthday to my daughter (it was her 17th birthday). At 10:30 that night, she passed away in her sleep. So she died on my daughter’s 17th birthday. My daughter counts it as a blessing (me, not so much). But because they were soooo close, I’m glad my daughter looks at it that way. I love this song and I love my sister….and yes, I totally believe I will see her again except when I do, I’ll be able to hear her beautiful voice and she’ll finally be able to hear my voice. Thank you for this reaction and God bless you and your family!!

You can feel the pain in his voice. 😢😢 Beautiful performance.

Thank you so much for this. My heart breaks for him because I also lost my son. He was only 21 at the time. No one can understand the pain and I pray no parent ever does. Hold your babies tight every chance you get.

Ive heard this song a millions times and I still cry my eyes out. Just the very thought of losing my daughter (who is now 30) absolutely tears me up... I can't imagine living with that kind of loss. Great reaction. I've watched several of yours of late and decided to subscribe today. Blessings.

And this is why I will always and forever love country music. It can make you dance and make you cry!

The spirit of the Lord is so strong in this song. God Bless this man.

You can see, feel and hear his pain. This is fantastic performance and you might want to watch the video, not react, for yourself it is beautiful. Thanks for the reaction. Country music explores so many subjects. Thanks for giving it a chance

Craig has such an amazing voice. Like slapping you in the face with truth. Songs like "This Ain't Nothing", "Almost Home", "I Thought I Was Tough" will tear your heart out almost as much as this one. He also has some great fun songs like "This Old Boy" and "Redneck Yacht Club".

God Bless Craig Morgan for continuing to sing that song in honor of his son and to help others who have lost their children to deaths! God gives you the hope that you will be with them once more when it's our turn to go😢❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

Craig is such an underrated singer. I love his music. It's very powerful.

This was his truth and his words. It broke him to sing that. He walked off the stage and said never again it was too painful.

I'm so glad your oldest daughter is alive and well. I've seen her in some of your reactions and she's beautiful. I lost my daughter at 2 months due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). She was 'perfect,' they couldn't find anything wrong, but she was gone. I've learned to live with a huge hole in my heart, even after many years. I'm lucky to have a son. My heart goes out to this man. There is nothing like losing a child. His voice was amazing. Thank you.

Such an amazing song. Craig is an amazing artist, a military man and just a great human being.

The reason so many people love country music is because it is about life. It is stories of our lives and how we react to different situations.

Love this song by Craig Morgan.. break's my heart every time I hear it..💔💔 I first heard it after the death of my younger brother.. But. I will see him again..❤️

So many of Craig Morgan’s songs hit like that. That’s What I Love About Sunday, Something, Almost Home. They are all great songs I would highly recommend.

I don't listen to country or this kinda music but this made me tear up, 😪 he sang this with so much passion and you could feel what he was feeling

Thanks for playing this song it’s painful, tragic but song beautifully. Craig is such a wonderful man. His son was a very handsome young man. God bless. ❤️🙏🏻

This song absolutely tears me up. When you get a chance watch when he does it on Kelly Clarksons show. It will break you all over again. He barely makes it through the song. Btw your channel is my new favorite reaction channel. Watch every video you put out.

This song gets me every time 😭❤️ he did this on Kelly Clarksons show too...

Absolutely beautiful! The Lord has given him this song to help with the pain. It is true you never ever get over the loss of a child.

Brings me tears every time I hear this song. One day Craig will see his son again, no more sorrows, no more tears. Only eternal happiness. God Bless you and your family brother

I am new to your channel but must tell you my feelings after hearing Craig Morgan's "The Father, my son , and the holy ghost." I have lost 3 sons, my husband and my dear, dear brother. I don't allow myself to cry much, but , in addition to hearing these three artists, as well as George Jones "He Stopped Loving Her today." "In Color", Jamey Johnson; "The Dance", Garth Brooks , I wept. Craig Morgan had such RAW feelings in his performance that I truly felt it. All people don't feel the same about religion and faith. Mine is very close to Craig Morgan's. I know , someday soon, I will see ALL my departed loved ones and the tears I will shed will truly be tears of joy, no more tears from grief.

He was active duty in the army and an EMT. In 2011 he was honored for pulling two children out of a house fire and helping firefighters on the exterior of the building using a fire hose. I recommend his songs Almost Home This Ain't Nothing Combine Tractor(a more fun one).

As someone who lost their son in a car wreck almost one year ago to the day, I can honestly say, so far the pain doesn’t get better

It was Craig and this song that helped me when I lost my son. I listen to it all the time to help me through the times I can't get things done.

The strength of my mother never ceased to amaze me. We lost her 3 years ago. She had 6 children and lost two sons, my brothers. One right before his 18th birthday and the other at the age of 42. Her strength was unmatched and she managed to move on. Strength is a very hit and miss thing. Even now I miss them all and they are many times just out of thought and the thoughts of them are brought back many times a year. She of course used her faith and family to get by. I only hope to have a fraction of her strength and faith to rely on.

Oh gosh I just sobbed through this entire song.🥹

Blake Shelton, another country hit maker, had a song at number 1 the week Craig released this song. Blake tweeted that he would gladly give up his #1 spot on country radio to get this song on and then began a campaign to get other country fans, and even more so, country radio to play it. He said play it once and watch what happens! This song is the song we all need; every one who has lost anyone (for me, my dad) and has hope in the Lord to one day see them again, finds themselves in this song. That's the power of music. I hate that Craig, an extraordinary man, had to go through this but man, I'm super glad God put these words in his heart to share with me.

As someone who’s had to bury her twin daughters this songs goes so deep into my heart and soul. Even if you haven’t lost a child you absolutely will cry while hearing this. RIP BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRLS SEPTEMBER 29, 2008 fly high. Mommy will see you again. ❤❤

That song breaks me every time. You can hear the pain in his voice and see ut all over him. But also see the hope and knowledge of resurrection.

I live in NC, on the TN border, and remember watching this tragedy unfold on the news, as search and rescue looked, and then when hours passed, they called in the divers...it was, there are no words... a horrible, horrible tragedy. I've always loved Craig's songs, and I just couldn't imagine the pain he and his family were enduring.

I can not imagine how difficult it was for him to sing this song. ❤️

Sending ❤️and prayers to this amazing Father 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇨🇦

I don't know how he finds the strength to sing this song. Bless him and his family and may his son rest in peace.

I have NO idea how I found your reaction to this video, but man, the heartstrings that have pulled. I lost my 22 y/o to suicide in 2021. I'll NEVER be "ok" or the same until I take MY last breath. THANK YOU for this reaction!

"This Ain't Nothing," and "Almost Home," are good ones by him too.

I truly do not know how anyone could get through pain like this without faith. My Dad had Alzheimers 15 years , watched him change but we were still blessed because he became the most loving person . He would say I love you and make sure you gave him a kiss before you left him. Caring for him and mom was hard at times but would do it all again . Looking back now I know God was with me and that is how I could do all the things I had to do.

I feel this man's pain. My son passed 4 years ago but I know he's still with me and he gives me my strength to carry on everyday

I met Craig years ago and he was one of the nicest guys ever. I think he was also the first celebrity to respond to one of my tweets. (I was picking on Blake Shelton. LOL) I remember being so sad when his son passed, but he really did turn the experience into something beautiful.

Another awesome American hero..... Craig is a U.S Marine 🇺🇲 and Christian. ✝️ so sorry for his loss 🙏

My Brother passed away in 2018. So my parents what it's like to lose a child, I still, struggle, through my grief, but time does help. And what also helps me get through my grief is I know I will get through this when I get to see him again. RIP Brother 1985-2018

Well, I hadn't seen that performed and it was extremely moving. I am still crying. What a masterpiece.

Such a terrible accident! I can't imagine. You can see the pain in his face in the video...I have not seen it live. Thanks for the reaction!

I am so glad that you yourself did not lose a child. I myself used to “hope” Heaven is for real even though I am a Christian I still had “faith”. When my daughter was 12 and killed by a drunk driver when she was crossing the street, my faith changed. Jesus gave me a “Peace” that only He can. So now I tell people I don’t have to “believe”, because I KNOW I will be with Jesus one day and hold my daughter again. So glad you are on this country music journey. I myself did not start to like country until I was 23 and went in the Army. Garth Brooks opened the door for me and I have been hooked ever since. Even the twangy stuff I love.

I’m a mom of two sons… adults now, I just can’t imagine the loss. Gid bless Craig Morgan! Yes- we all need religion- something/ someone to believe in to pray to……. ❤

On april 26th 2021 I lost my son... he had just returned from a deployment... gone in an accident... this song broke me further...

This song is heartbreaking, I’ve buried 3 beautiful sons , my 4 month old my 2 year old and my 24 year old . We will never heal

Losing a child is the worst pain imaginable. It never goes away or gets any easier. My Son died at 20. It will be 18 years in June. Mommy sure misses you Son.

I lost my oldest when she was a week old. I have 2 absolutely amazing kids now, but it's always hard. Especially since she would have been 18 years old last Friday, and on this Friday is the 18 year anniversary of the day she became an angel.

I cry everytime I hear it and seeing him cry breaks your heart

Lost our 18 year old son Jan 3, 2020 to SADS. I found this song a couple months later. The lyrics of this song is exactly the feelings and pain felt of a parent who's lost a child. I know my son is with his heavenly father and that makes me happy. This song, and others you have reacted to, are on a playlist I have for my son.

6 years ago I lost My Dear Sweet Daughter Jessica. She passed away in her sleep. Not a day goes by without feeling the heartache. She was married and was a wonderful Momma to her 12 year old Daughter May. This song took me to the day my husband came home early from work and said that she was gone 😢

Craig's song International Harvester is on my playlist of Songs Of Me that pretty much describe me. Hard to see him so broken now after bein so full of life back then. Loss or, for Christians, temporary separation of anyone close to you, especially a child, is one of life's experiences that absolutely nobody can imagine unless they've been through it themselves. Thank God He's always there.

He had adopted his son. He drowned while out on the lake with friends at 18 yo. I have always lived his voice

This song has been a huge support to me. I lost my son in July of this year, and it absolutely destroyed me.

This song really hits home for me, lost my son last year 2/14/22. Still dealing with it!!

Lost my son 2 years ago and this song makes me remember that he’s not really gone.

There is no harder pain to live with then to lose a child. I have been trying for almost a year now to cope with losing my oldest son.. the only thing I can say is.. he taught me how to be a mom, he is missed every day, and I’m very thankful for the years I did get with him.. I hope one day I can feel like a person inside again.

I lost a son 10 years ago. 4 years ago his brother joined him. This song touches me very deeply. Thank you for reviewing It.

storytelling country is the best music imo and i love watching people react for the first time. his song almost home is also fantastic

I’ve had to pause this a million times just to get through it. We have a 15 year old son (our only child) and my greatest fear is losing our son, I can’t imagine a worse pain. We are a Catholic family so faith plays a huge part.

This is such a good song. I also love his song That's What I Love About Sunday.

I love this song. I don't think I will ever get tired of it. Have you ever heard the song, Don't take the girl

I love how genuine you are as a reactor.

Powerful song. I don't know how he could perform it live like that. He is stronger than I. Now let Craig make you smile with 'Redneck Yacht club' or 'Little bit of life'.

Love Craig Morgan! He Has Lots of Amazing Songs!

Blake Sheltons song about his brother Over You.. and Cole Swindells You Should be Here.. Coles dad passed just as his first big hit blew up.

The most heartbreaking performance I've ever seen.

Hey bro, no doubt others have mentioned this too but Craig is also a military veteran of I believe about 17 years, it’s also reported that he once stumbled on a house fire and when asking if there was anyone in there ran in and rescued two people!! Brave, of course, but brave beyond belief to put the loss of his son into a song and perform it live but brave also to speak of his rock solid belief and faith in God, this life is but a vapour, here one minute, gone the next but for those who repent of their sins and put their faith and trust in Jesus, they will be welcomed into Heaven for all eternity, will be fully restored, where no more pain or misery or hurt exists, where every tear will be wiped away ❤️

Was so hard for us all to watch! Just an incredible tribute!

I lost my 30 year old daughter unexpectedly in 2020. My oldest daughter and my baby girl. Ahe had a very troubled 13 years before she died. She passed away in prison in her bed unexpectedly with no that cared around her. I miss my girl so much, but as a Christian, I KNOW I will see her when I go Home. She gave her life over to God again when ahe was incarcerated so I know where she is. Losing her is a pain I would never wish upon my worst enemy. ❤

Craig Morgan/ Almost Home. Beautiful song ❤

I almost lost my oldest son too when he was 10 days old he literally stopped breathing I was so lucky I was going to lay him.down and take a nap I thank God everyday that I didn't end up napping or he wouldn't be here I to only had a taste of what it would be like to lose my child I still remember seeing news of Craig Morgan's sons dying my heart still breaks for him years later

This one, literally, stopped you in your tracks. The first time, at least that I remember, seeing that happen. I don't know Craig personally, but, the few times I've seen him he appears to be a fantastic person.

He has so many amazing songs, give them all a listen

So glad he shared his pain with us thru this song . I watched this performance on the Opry . 3 months later I knew his pain loosing my son on Christmas TJForever29 .

Sebs, this song really affects me. My son had a daughter that lived an hour and a half. We got to hold her for a bit. The thing I have wondered about since that day; is it harder to lose someone at birth and never get to see them grow, learn play or lose them in the youth of their lives after getting to spend time with them and get to really know them. I don't wish either way on anyone. This was the hardest thing in this old grandpa's life. I could not speak at my granddaughters funeral so I can only imagine the pain Craig had during this performance.

It’s a beautiful song and it perfectly sums up some of what it’s like to live with the loss of a child. It’s there every day and you don’t get over it, you don’t get used it. I lost my daughter in 2016 and she’s with me every day. I can’t imagine that there’s anything worse than losing a child but if there is, I pray to never know it. I pray for every angel mom and dad out there. I pray for them to still see the joy that there is in living. I pray for them to let the memories of their child bring a smile to their heart and peace to to their soul. I thank Mr. Morgan for sharing his love his of his son and our Father with us all. I pray for him and his family. God bless.

Cry every time. Great reaction.

When he performed this on Kelly Clarkson's show, he had a little breakdown at the end. Blake Shelton was there too.

I know what he is feeling. I lost my oldest son in 2013 man I can't believe its been 10 years almost. He was 27 and it seems like yesterday I still look up when someone walk in door thinking it might be him. Someone told me once take it one breath at a time, but I know he is still around me and his brother every now an again he sents us something to reminds us.

His song that's what I love about Sundays is a really great song 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
