Brandon Lake Releases Powerful ‘When a Cowboy Prays’ Music Video

This music video is incredible and tells quite a story. You will feel as if you are there in the moment with this country family. Check out Brandon Lake’s release of the powerful ‘When a Cowboy Prays’ music video.

At the start of this video, we see the sun rising as a cowboy steps out of his front door, and his wife is sitting in a rocking chair with her coffee and a Bible. He passes by the Bible and heads out for a hard day's work. 

As he receives a horse to train, he treats the younger cowboy unkindly. The younger cowboy continues to live out his faith even when the older cowboy is not godly in his actions. The wife is seen watching from a distance at different moments. 

The Chorus sings out: 

When a cowboy prays
It starts raining in Oklahoma
Long lost sons come home to momma
And those stubborn horses break

During the video, we come to realize that the younger cowboy is the man’s son. We see a story play out of a father and a son trying to break a horse that is stubborn. The father is wrestling with his own behavior. He is absent from the dinner table; he appears to have forgotten who God called him to be, and then his wife gives him a meal and his Bible late one night. 

The cowboy opens his Bible to see a picture of him and his son, then starts reading it again. He tears up and reconciles with his family. He allows his son to take the reins. 

You see a change in this cowboy’s life because He puts Jesus first again. He has a smile on his face, his family is thriving, he is home for dinner, and he is empowering the next generation.

Prayer is powerful. It is a practice found in the life of every believer. God cares about our hearts and wants to invite us to talk with Him in prayer every day.

“Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.” Colossians 4:2
