New Song Comes Just A Few Months After Brandon Lake Released His Hit Album ‘King Of Hearts’
“When a cowboy prays, it starts raining in Oklahoma, long lost sons come home to momma, and those stubborn horses break. When a cowboy prays, with a whistle and a rumble, it’s as strong as it is humble. This whole world just ain’t the same when a cowboy prays.”
2025 has been a big year for Christian artist Brandon Lake. This year, so far, he’s made his debut at the Opry, led worship at CMA Fest, released an album, gone on tour, and been nominated for his first CMA Award.
Amid all of that, and more, he’s had time to write and record a new song, too.
“When A Cowboy Prays” finds Brandon leaning into the timeless American imagery of the West, while singing of the eternal truth of God’s love for His children.

“When A Cowboy Prays”
During a stop in July in Dallas, Texas, on the Summer Worship Nights 2025 tour with his friend, Christian artist Phil Wickham, Brandon unveiled a new song, “When A Cowboy Prays.”
Noting he had written it the week before, this came as a surprise, especially considering his album King Of Hearts was released in June, with the “Full Deck Deluxe” edition coming out the following week.
At that Dallas show, Brandon dedicated the song to “all my cowboys and all my bubbas out there who God hears,” adding, “You might not have a cowboy grandpa, or somethin’, but there’s just certain people out there when you hear ‘em pray, it moves mountains, you know? And it’s humble, but it’s honest.”
A few weeks later, Brandon hinted at having recorded a demo of the song, and perhaps even a music video…
On September 26, the song was finally released.
