Monday Morning Church

"Monday Morning Church" is a song written by Brent Baxter and Erin Enderlin, and recorded by American country music artist Alan Jackson.

"It's about trying to survive after you've lost a loved one and just how every little thing you touch or see stirs up the memories and makes it hard," Jackson says.

After writing the lyrics, Baxter gave them to Erin Enderlin, a music student at Middle Tennessee State University.

Enderlin stated that she related to the lyrics because she had just lost a friend in a car accident, and proceeded to write "a really sad, beautiful melody", before circulating the song in Nashville.

Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, calling it "one of the most potent ballads in country music since George Jones' 'He Stopped Loving Her Today'.
