A Cowboy's Whispered Psalms

  Hi everyone, You are on the blog of Kip Sawdy. He's the author of the
Bull Rider's Prayer,and he's also the author of a newly published book called 
A Cowboy's Whispered Psalms.


Through a combination of poetry and narrative, Sawdy tells his story—the good, the bad, and the ugly—and acknowledges his innate need for and dependence on God.

In my mouth was a loaded .357.
I planned to make my way to heaven.
I had been living in sin.
My hopes had all grown dim.
... But it wasn't my time,
And I couldn't take something that wasn't mine.

In A Cowboy's Whispered Psalms, author Kip Sawdy takes readers on a wild ride, sharing his deepest struggles, greatest victories, and darkest defeats. Through a combination of poetry and narrative, Sawdy tells his story—the good, the bad, and the ugly—and acknowledges his innate need for and dependence on God.

But Sawdy hasn't always had such faith and hope. He's spent his fair share of time on the other side of the fence, with sin as his constant companion. Through each poem, Sawdy shows us that despite all of our imperfections, God loves us through his perfect Son. His story is a call to repentance, a call to fight the fleshly desires that so often undermine even the strongest convictions. A Cowboy's Whispered Psalms is the perfect book for anyone in need of inspiration and encouragement. Sawdy's use of poetry, personal insights, and scripture are a testimony to God's faithfulness in times of trouble, whether that means staring down the end of a barrel, facing a mean bull, or fighting the devil within.

My book is published through Tate Publishing, a mainline publishing house dedicated to working with aspiring authors and giving their book its best chance in the marketplace. If you've ever thought about publishing a book, you should visit http://www.tatepublishing.com

Bull Riders Prayer

Bull Riders Prayer


The Bull Rider's Prayer
As I live the Cowboy Way,
Protection is what I pray,
I don't know my Fate,
Outside of the gate.
If my ride sees trouble,
Send Angels on the double,
For in you the Lord I rest,
Let my life pass your test.
By pure grace I am saved,
Lord, ride with me,
for your way is paved.
That's the Cowboy Way,
And what bull riders pray.
