My husband was abused physically and had cancer as a child, when i met him he stuttered so bad he could barely state his name. Today he speaks clearly, is cancer free, and a great father to both our children. The victory belongs to Jesus!!
I’m 11, I’ve been baptized, I accept God as my Lord and Savior. At age 4 my grandpa died. And last year, in August, my other one passed. Then right before Christmas we put my dog down. My cousin died of cancer, I had to go homeschooled bc of my severe separation anxiety, I have adhd, and maybe ODD. I feel like I can only trust Jesus and my mom. My dad has anger issues and is a little mental abusive (if that makes sense.) my life has been horrible, but its good because Jesus is in it. God bless everyone reading this. Have a great rest of ur day/night
I seen your comment. First time I’ve ever heard this song. I spoke to my 21 yr. old daughter for the first time in 10 years yesterday. She has alot of the same issues you mentioned. Sorry, God led me to share this in hopes I can see others that may have the same pains you have had to endure. You are an inspiration. Keep pushing forward. God bless you.
That's wonderful @ur_local_swiftie. Life can be really tough and sometimes we go through things we should never have to. God loves you no matter what. He is always there for us and sometimes the things we go through are to make us better, stronger, to build your faith/belief in the Lord. You sound so intelligent for your age. I believe great things are in store for you just keep up your relationship with Jesus. He will light the way for you. I'm sending you hugs and praying for you.
I lost a daughter health issues and two weeks after her passing I find out I have breast cancer two types of cancer. I’m at the bottom feeling. This song played and wowed me. I can see everyone has struggles. It’s all up to us to believe He’s is a Good God what’s the best . Colton man you are changing lives through the Love of Christ. I thank you and changed for the better
I hope Colton you see this, my father spent his life after being in the Navy being a light for our family! He built small ship models for years! He just passed away from 2 cancer battles! If Daddy could write a song and create it with a background - it would look exactly like this!! Thank you for putting this together like this! Many blessings to you!!! This song is actually my testimony walk! Bless you!! Thanks again!!!
God gave me this songs 2 months I even printed the lyrics so I can read them every time I’m studying for my NCLEX RN exam . God did it, I passed. Thank you Jesus, thank you Colton
I recently had a horrible breakdown and I dropped my faith for a few days but God kept chasing after me and I kept having random gospel songs like this one pop into my head and no matter how hard I tried to run away from it I finally broke down and heard a song going to work that made me break and I cried the whole way to work and I picked my faith back up after that point. This song speaks to me. Keep up the excellent work Colton Dixon
I heard this song on the radio 91.1 in Las Vegas. I was driving the crew truck back to the yard going south on the 215. When I heard it everything all of a sudden became beautiful and joyful. I have been alone for so long I haven't notice the loneliness in a long time, but today, even though I sat in the truck alone, I felt accompanied. This is a beautiful song and God is great! God bless everyone.
2/14/23 Had a dream I was on a huge cruise ship. Started out inside getting some food. There were people everywhere just doing their thing. I came up to the deck to find a table. When I sit down to eat chaos breaks out on the right side. People going crazy and the boat starts to tip to that side. I get under the table that's bolted to the deck and hold on for dear life. The people in the chaos start to panic bc it was tipping so they just jumped in the high waves. Never saw them again. Brothers and sisters no matter how the boat starts to rock do not panic. This is no titanic. We have a the ultimate boat and captain. He has it all under control. Hallelujah we are not alone!
I’ve always wanted to join the worship at my church but I’ve been too scared to go in front of everyone but I’m gonna try this year to get over my fear with Gods wind in my sails ❤
This has become my current favorite Christian song. I loved it since I first heard it on K-love. But it holds new meaning for me as the Lord told me 2 years ago to build my boat in a desert and then just when the waves were getting too tough, he sailed me and my family out to our new home away from so much pain and strife.
Please pray for me im going throufh a heavy depression. God only knows all rhe loss pain and hurt I've endured but I pray I can build a boat in Jesus name bc im in the desert. God bless everyone listening to this 🙏🏻
Randy, I have been in the same boat, no pun intended, he is there for you and your going on my prayer list!!!!! Maybe today you will feel a little peace from God!! You are loved!
I'm sorry you're feeling this way, I pray the Good Lord God All Mighty will give you peace. Read proverbs or Ecclesiastes.. we all have trials, temptation, and desolate times, but trust God and hold on to him.
I got in a car accident and was so angry at God. Was on my way to see a patient to pray. This song captured my heart in such profoundly Spiritual ways. His love NEVER fails or fades!
I love this song. "I will build a boat, in the sand, where they say it never rains. I will stand up, in faith and do anything it takes," is my favorite line. It reminds me of how despite how everyone says it can't rain and building a boat is useless, I'll do it anyway because that is what God told me to do so I'll do it while ignoring those who wish to put doubt on my beliefs.
anyone who is reading this, God is with you. No matter what you feel, see or go through, it will be a storm that will pass that will become a testimony of God's love, faithfulness and power. Keep the faith, lean on Jesus and remember the cross! It is finished, we have victory. Your pain and sorrow will turn into joy! Thank and praise the Lord for what he's going to do and what he's already done .. He is in the story, because HE IS THE ONE WHO WROTE YOUR STORY
Colton Dixon went to my school yesterday and sang this, and it was such an amazing experience to hear it live, though it was a little bit harder to understand what he was saying live.
I played this song today on repeat on my way home from my new job. I sobbed the entire ride home. I’ve been so scared to make this career jump, but I fully trust God 🙏🌧🌈 Thank you SO MUCH for this song!! I heard it for the first time this afternoon on my local Christian radio station. Z 88.3 Orlando
You Go Girl!!!! I Pray All Is Going Well....No Starch That MORE Than You Ever Thought It Would!!!! God Bless You, Trust Him When He's In The Front, You Will NEVER Be In The Back.. Even If Your Not Known. ❤️❤️❤️
You know when a song meets your “heart need” because you leave it on repeat and open your sunroof and tears roll down your cheeks. Thank you for this song. ❤️✝️
Thanks you for this amazing praise song, Colton !!!! My wife has just started her first round of chemotherapy and I needed to hear this so bad today!!!! As a husband, father, musician, and follower, I can’t thank Colton enough for making it and I can’t thank God enough for putting your song in my path!!! This helped me more than you will ever know! TYSM!!! ❤️ ✝️ 🌧🙌🏻🌧
the age of 11, my dad got diagnosed with ALS( a muscle degenerative Disease) and my life has not been good, my mom started drinking and got mad at God, my sister had terrible anger issues and my Grandpa who i struggle to forgive was never in my life, so my life has not been good. But Jesus is my light st the end of the tunnel, my strength in the weakness, my joy in the anger, he is the best
I was in the bathroom broken and my faith was at a low point and then this song began to play randomly off my Spotify and broke me to tears right there. It was literally very thing I was feeling in that moment. Thank you for letting God use you to make powerful music!
That's the thing right there, letting God use you! God blessed you with the talent and inspiration to move us closer to Himself. Thank you, Colton, musicians and crews...brilliant nessage! 🙏🏿💝⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😊
I built a boat, so let it rain.... to me this song translates as my boat is my faith and how i build it makes a difference for both me and the people i encounter. I struggle with mental illness and the best medicine I ever ingested was God's word....build my faith with it everyday!😊 if i dont, my boat doesnt float right!😢
I'm crying and I need to cry right now..This song speaks to my soul and situation perfectly..Thank you Lord for saving me, and dealing with me and my mess.🙌
I've been wanderin' through the desert Ain't seen a cloud in forever over me But I believe Your rain is comin', mm Yeah, I've been hangin' onto high hopes 'Cause You're the one who's makin' dry bones come to life You're the light I put my trust in Every word You say is gonna come true You will lead me to the promised land Everything You say is gonna happen Even though I haven't seen it yet I will build a boat in the sand where they say it never rains And I will stand up in faith, I'll do anything it takes With Your wind in my sails, Your love never fails or fades I'll build a boat in the desert place And when the flood and the water starts to rise, yeah I'll ride the storm 'cause I got You by my side With Your wind in my sails, Your love never fails or fades I'll build a boat, so let it rain You're the map, You're my compass You help me navigate the currents underneath Take the lead, I surrender Every word You say is gonna come true You will lead me to the promised land Everything You say is gonna happen Even though I haven't seen it yet I will build a boat in the sand where they say it never rains I will stand up in faith, I'll do anything it takes With Your wind in my sails, Your love never fails or fades I'll build a boat in the desert place And when the flood and the water starts to rise, yeah I'll ride the storm 'cause I got You by my side With Your wind in my sails, Your love never fails or fades I'll build a boat, so let it rain I'll build a boat, so let it rain I will build a boat in the sand where they say it never rains I will stand up in faith, I'll do anything it takes With Your wind in my sails, Your love never fails or fades I'll build a boat in the desert place And when the flood and the water starts to rise, yeah I'll ride the storm 'cause I got You by my side With Your wind in my sails, Your love never fails or fades I'll build a boat, so let it rain
These words! So touching and powerful, makes me wonder what I've done lately in faith, maybe I should build my own boat...no shortage of dry places in my life. 🙏🏿💜
Colton this song is a blessing to the nations! It is a lifter and reminder of what God can and will do! It releases joy in my soul immediately! Praise God for this beautiful song!!
I'm currently going through a marriage battle and it seems like the end of it is near.. Confiding in God is all I have and all I need. This song like a few others I've heard, keep my head out of the murky waters a little more and my drive set on knowing I need to grow stronger and deeper in my Faith. God is our everything we need, he knows what's going to happen and what's best for us always. All we need to do is spread our Faith to as many as possible. Be the fishermen of the masses as he intended. May everyone who is going through a hard time, decision, life changing period that seems inevitable in any way. Hear this song and feel the love grow in them for God and for the love he has always had for us too. These are the times we need to prove our Faith's perseverance and love as Jesus does. God bless everyone, keep your head held towards Him and your heart open to receiving.
I started tearing up listening to that. I thought that “Miracles” was an awesome song but this completely COMPLETELY exceeds it. This might be my new favorite song. It is so amazing. I thank God for this song it’s so incredibly beautiful I don’t know how to put it into words.
Whatever it takes. Obedience opens up the windows of heaven for restoration. Love. Faith. Hope. True love rooted in You Jesus never fails. Perfect love drives out ALL fear. I know You’ll never leave my side Abba, no matter where I stand or sit, I will lift my eyes up to You Yeshua! All you promised me is so much bigger than the endless chasm of my anguish. You said it; it will come to pass. Hold me Abba when I can’t stand without Your support, be my rock on which I will continue to build by faith on every word you’ve spoken to me and all the prophecies you’ve shown and declared for me as my inheritance and destiny. You’ve already declared victory. Take me to the place where the heavens open up and the deluge of my harvest for the past 21 + yrs ushers me into my promised land! Numbers 23:19
💖This song ministers to me each and every time I hear it. Praise God for Christian music! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Many tears shed every time I hear it and remember God's faithfulness!🥳🥳 Amen!!
I agree with you this was made off of Noah’s Ark because Noah believed that a storm was coming in all the others did not believe him and he grabbed two of each every other animal and put them on the boat with him and so God bless you. I hope you have a good life.❤
This song lift me up when I feel defeated. But it really make me get up out my seat and praise God. Tears of joy in my heart is healing during times I'm feeling pain.
About 15 years ago God promised me that I would have a soulmate. I gave up my entire college career, all my hopes and dreams, I've been through several financial difficulties, and working at a job I have never desired to work all for a woman who at first didn't even want to at least be friends with me; but yet the Lord continues to tell me have faith that everything is going to come to pass. And it hasn't happened yet, I'm still waiting.... but I know it's going to happen. I can feel it in my spirit that I'm about to get my breakthrough. So if you're waiting on the Lord and it feels like you've been in the desert for so long, just keep holding on. God is not a liar. The Bible says that all things work out for good for those who love Him. Don't give up. Keep pressing on. And all God's people said: Amen :)
I started crying reading your story. I am sorry for your loss, but I am thankful that you found Christ. He will always be with you. I have had alot of family die recently, loss of transportation and so much more, but I also know with Christ all things are possible. I will keep you in my prayers as I do for the whole world. You are on the "winning team" 😊. We will see our loved ones again someday soon.
My husband and I just started trying to have a baby. It's only the 1st month & I already hate it. My period is due tomorrow & my body is giving me so many mixed signals I don't know which way is up anymore. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high but it's so hard. This song is helping. All I can do is build the boat & pray and wait for rain.
I know it's hard when you want a baby. We stressed out for months trying for our first. The stress actually made it more difficult to conceive. Try to just relax and enjoy your time together. Don't rush it, because once the baby comes, you'll want those memories. Let God do the rest. We ended up having three boys. 😊 Keep your head up and just trust in Him and his timing. ❤
My father had cancer as a child so he wasn't able to have kids. Now, we are a happy family of four and both me and my sister are adopted. Just remember...there are always other options out there and I believe God works through adoption and that's how He brought me and my sister to our family ❤
@Annaliz you are right and I am so thankful that if pregnancy doesn't work for me, I do have other options. I just wasn't prepared for the emotional toll trying to conceive would have.
Never lose hope! My brother and his beautiful wife just had their first on March 6,2023. They experienced two miscarriages prior, but they never lost hope in God! Put God first and maintain that special one on one personal relationship with God amd watch God perform a miracle! I will remember you in my prayers!
I can’t put into words what this song does to me and how I praise His name all throughout it! Thank you Jesus! My faith is in you! When they think I’m crazy, I’ll build a boat so let it rain ❤
@@jacolynblunt4020 when the rains and storms come, we’ll build our boat and praise Him no matter how it feels. He’s always there and He’s always got us 🙌 He won’t let us drown. It may feel like it but He’ll never let go.
I’m 11 years old and this year I will be turning 12. My grandmother was told that she had cancer and everyone prayed for her.After the surgery the mass had been removed and she was told they could not find any cancer thank god for answered prayers.🙏🏻
Listen closely to the words, you may find your answer... There's definitely a reason it touched your heart. When God speaks to us, it's not always what you expect. Faith.
You know a worship song is a success when you hear it and you can’t help but lift your arms in praise. Mine shot up straight to the sky, almost of their own accord, and my heart poured out to the Lord. Just as it should be ✝️❤️
I’m only 13….but this song really lifts my heart….my grandma had cancer and died from it but then this song came out and I listened to it over and over again because my grandma loved telling me about the story of noah….and well thank you Mr. Dixon……thanks so much…..have a blessed day ❤❤
Colton Dixon...I pray that God continues to use you.....i get so excited when I see your name and music on my XM channel.....You are such a wonderful gift from God.....Love all your songs..but Build A Boat is absolutely powerful, delightful & I will buy this album.. GOD BLESS YOU...from San Diego, California
Was at my therapist last week, she has this sand table... one of the things I put there was a boat... now I know why. Shalom Colton, this is a wonderful song.
This song means so much to me and my wife. Thank you Lord for all you do for us and still doing for us. God bless you all and put a hedge of protection around you all. All Glory to God and His Kingdom. God's Will God's Way. These are Glory Days Not Gloomy Days.
I remember when this guy started on one of those talent shows on TV, where he bravely played origiinal songs he wrote. He didn't win, but I knew he would make it.
This song reminds me the day I was babtized from my pastor and, last wensdday my pastor told ppl that how hard working I am and how I help ppl and is very nice. This song also reminds me when God is with me when I’m being yelled at being bullied crying and alone. Thx for having this song
His love never fails or fades, He has plan for you that is so much better than anything you could ever imagine yourself doing! He is your lighthouse he leads you through the storm, He guides you too shore. Everything he says is going to happen someday. He has more love for you than all the love in the world combined. So build a boat and a sail where They say it will never rain, in a dessert place, because he is with you, and no matter what your going through he's going to be with you. I hope everyone who reads this has a great day and an even better week!!
After watching the documentary Superspreader last night I was praying and asking God what I can do so that I can be a part of this revival movement and not sit on the sidelines. Listening to this song I feel like my “boat” that I am to build is to start a revival seeking Bible study in my home
Just listened to your podcast interview with Tracy Tiernan and have so much respect for you - actually have had since your American Idol tryout with your sister. Your music always speaks from relationship with God, which is truly a blessing for us to be inspired by. 'Let Them See You' has been one of my all time favorites. God's hand is evident in your life. Many Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia!
This song is my song of guidance im feeling so lost and out of control and broken and I know the only one who can put the piece together and break chains and give me my rescue boat is Jesus . Thank you Colten Dixon for this reminder that there's hope
“For a mere moment I have forsaken you, But with great mercies I will gather you. With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,” Says the Lord, your Redeemer. “For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; For as I have sworn That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, So have I sworn That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” Says the Lord, who has mercy on you. “O you afflicted one, Tossed with tempest, and not comforted, Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, And lay your foundations with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of rubies, Your gates of crystal, And all your walls of precious stones. All your children shall be taught by the Lord, And great shall be the peace of your children. In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you. Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. “Behold, I have created the blacksmith Who blows the coals in the fire, Who brings forth an instrument for his work; And I have created the spoiler to destroy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord." ~ Isaiah 54:7-17
This song hit me while driving. First time I heard it was on Air1. I busted down crying tears of joy. Why? I really don't know, but it felt like God is preparing me, even though I don't understand why sometimes, which was just like Noah building a boat. Thank you for this song.
Listened this many times but today was exceptionally different. I've felt stuck over my life and faith altogether.. Suddenly this song came while i was driving alone. idk why but tears started flowing and cried out aloud like never before ..there goes my frustation that i hold years after years out just like that, then i overwhelmed with peace. It did awake my faith at the moment Holy Spirit reminded me that He's faithful,lead us to the promise land = The eternal where we finish the race & see HIM face to face. He'll sustain us and hold our faith securely in Jesus alone ❤ thank you for this beautiful song!
I love, love, love the message of this song - no matter what it looks like, what it feels like, or what people say; I've got to build that boat because God said so.
God is my shelter and my hope, I love this song. I believe that God will help me through everything. I am a kid that is ten, because of all my faith in him, my middle name is faith. Every night, I listen to this song because I feel like God is talking to me through Cristian music. He has helped me so much. Look forward to getting baptized.
Preached to them on what roaming threw the desert is and how to live what the word says hope I can attend church tonight with the real pastor preaching
I can't find the CD anywhere so I come here every day, sometimes more than twice a day, just to listen to my favorite song since January 2023. And because I can't buy it the CD anywhere and Colton hasn't come to New Orleans recently, I had to go on his website to buy the tshirt. It is officially my new favorite shirt and will be treasured so I can make it last. Hoping that Colton sees this comment and plans a show in the New Orleans/southeast Louisiana area soon. And please release more copies of Canvas! It sells out as soon as it comes back in stock! ❤️(Comment left June 12, 2024)
Never wanted to dance so bad. Jump and dance and sing and shout and scream of God’s eternal goodness!!!! He is the forever promise keeper who will never change. Thank you Oh God for all you are to me!!!
😭This song is a beautiful blessing!!🙌🏽 Our God is Faithful and never fails ❤️ May the Lord refresh you as you refresh others in Jesus Mighty name amen ✝️
Me and my boyfriend listen to this song all the time together when we both feel like we need to be reminded how God will hold us no matter what happens. ❤🙌
I have not heard a new song from Colton in quite sometime. I love your music and this song is beautiful. Please do not stay away for so long again. Your voice, lyrics and music is so good and meaningful. Thank you for this song. Keep them coming.
This song expresses accurately and specifically what God has been speaking to me. I love being able to sing the promise of God in faith. Thank you for writing this song!

Praying for you
May God wrap His comforting arms around you and bring you peace.
I hope Colton you see this, my father spent his life after being in the Navy being a light for our family! He built small ship models for years! He just passed away from 2 cancer battles! If Daddy could write a song and create it with a background - it would look exactly like this!! Thank you for putting this together like this! Many blessings to you!!! This song is actually my testimony walk! Bless you!! Thanks again!!!
God gave me this songs 2 months I even printed the lyrics so I can read them every time I’m studying for my NCLEX RN exam . God did it, I passed. Thank you Jesus, thank you Colton
YAYu n just remember treat the next how you want to be treated
Wonderful! God is so good! Congratulations !!!
God is the answer
So happy for you!
I recently had a horrible breakdown and I dropped my faith for a few days but God kept chasing after me and I kept having random gospel songs like this one pop into my head and no matter how hard I tried to run away from it I finally broke down and heard a song going to work that made me break and I cried the whole way to work and I picked my faith back up after that point. This song speaks to me. Keep up the excellent work Colton Dixon

Beautiful an joyful 😃
The JOY of the Lord is our strength 💪
Beautiful testament man. Yes each time I hear this song is feel God come down to me
2/14/23 Had a dream I was on a huge cruise ship. Started out inside getting some food. There were people everywhere just doing their thing. I came up to the deck to find a table. When I sit down to eat chaos breaks out on the right side. People going crazy and the boat starts to tip to that side. I get under the table that's bolted to the deck and hold on for dear life. The people in the chaos start to panic bc it was tipping so they just jumped in the high waves. Never saw them again. Brothers and sisters no matter how the boat starts to rock do not panic. This is no titanic. We have a the ultimate boat and captain. He has it all under control. Hallelujah we are not alone!
This boat is truly unsinkable. unlike the man made Titanic, nothing will pull it under as long as Jesus is the captain
I’ve always wanted to join the worship at my church but I’ve been too scared to go in front of everyone but I’m gonna try this year to get over my fear with Gods wind in my sails ❤
You can do it. There is no shame in Jesus game. He loves you.
@@jonsieangel382 thank youuu
This song is so peaceful. Absolutely beautiful! Thanking God for Colton Dixon
This has become my current favorite Christian song. I loved it since I first heard it on K-love. But it holds new meaning for me as the Lord told me 2 years ago to build my boat in a desert and then just when the waves were getting too tough, he sailed me and my family out to our new home away from so much pain and strife.
Wow that’s so amazing
God bless you exactly 999 trillion times more richly beyond your wildest dreams.
Please pray for me im going throufh a heavy depression. God only knows all rhe loss pain and hurt I've endured but I pray I can build a boat in Jesus name bc im in the desert. God bless everyone listening to this 🙏🏻
Randy, I have been in the same boat, no pun intended, he is there for you and your going on my prayer list!!!!! Maybe today you will feel a little peace from God!! You are loved!
I'm sorry you're feeling this way, I pray the Good Lord God All Mighty will give you peace. Read proverbs or Ecclesiastes.. we all have trials, temptation, and desolate times, but trust God and hold on to him.
I'm praying that you be lifted up and lay down all of your pain and burden so you can be free in the name of Jesus
Randy praying that your situation has changed, and that God has brought you through that desert.
Asking God that you have strength to build your boat in the sand if you are not already done. But please let us know where you are with that
I got in a car accident and was so angry at God. Was on my way to see a patient to pray. This song captured my heart in such profoundly
Spiritual ways. His love NEVER fails or fades!
I love this song. "I will build a boat, in the sand, where they say it never rains. I will stand up, in faith and do anything it takes," is my favorite line.

anyone who is reading this, God is with you. No matter what you feel, see or go through, it will be a storm that will pass that will become a testimony of God's love, faithfulness and power. Keep the faith, lean on Jesus and remember the cross! It is finished, we have victory. Your pain and sorrow will turn into joy! Thank and praise the Lord for what he's going to do and what he's already done .. He is in the story, because HE IS THE ONE WHO WROTE YOUR STORY
Colton Dixon went to my school yesterday and sang this, and it was such an amazing experience to hear it live, though it was a little bit harder to understand what he was saying live.
I played this song today on repeat on my way home from my new job. I sobbed the entire ride home. I’ve been so scared to make this career jump, but I fully trust God 🙏🌧🌈 Thank you SO MUCH for this song!! I heard it for the first time this afternoon on my local Christian radio station. Z 88.3 Orlando
You Go Girl!!!! I Pray All Is Going Well....No Starch That MORE Than You Ever Thought It Would!!!! God Bless You, Trust Him When He's In The Front, You Will NEVER Be In The Back.. Even If Your Not Known. ❤️❤️❤️
In Addition, 95.1 Is Our Christian Radio Station Here In Maryland!! Woo Woo!!

October 11-12, 2022: my new favorite song
Love Z! I’m on the same boat with a possible career change…. God is faithful!
Congratulations to Colton Dixon for his first #1 Christian Billboard song!
😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
You know when a song meets your “heart need” because you leave it on repeat and open your sunroof and tears roll down your cheeks. Thank you for this song. ❤️✝️
Oh my gosh, me too! The "heart need" song comes on and I'm gettin my worship on whever I am!
Yes!
For sure Overwhelmingly amazing
Amen ❤
Love this song! ❤
Thanks you for this amazing praise song, Colton !!!! My wife has just started her first round of chemotherapy and I needed to hear this so bad today!!!! As a husband, father, musician, and follower, I can’t thank Colton enough for making it and I can’t thank God enough for putting your song in my path!!!
This helped me more than you will ever know! TYSM!!! ❤️ ✝️ 🌧🙌🏻🌧
the age of 11, my dad got diagnosed with ALS( a muscle degenerative Disease) and my life has not been good, my mom started drinking and got mad at God, my sister had terrible anger issues and my Grandpa who i struggle to forgive was never in my life, so my life has not been good. But Jesus is my light st the end of the tunnel, my strength in the weakness, my joy in the anger, he is the best
I was in the bathroom broken and my faith was at a low point and then this song began to play randomly off my Spotify and broke me to tears right there. It was literally very thing I was feeling in that moment.
Thank you for letting God use you to make powerful music!
That's the thing right there, letting God use you! God blessed you with the talent and inspiration to move us closer to Himself. Thank you, Colton, musicians and crews...brilliant nessage! 🙏🏿💝⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😊
Amen 🙏🕊
Same here. I just listened to this on October 8-9, 2022!
New favorite song
The is the best song ever I'm the holl wold
Just scrolling through you tube and found this wonderful gem. Great song and message. Thanks be to God. Amen. 👊🏿⭐🙏🏿
All I could think of as I listened to this song is Eastern Kentucky. Love and prayers to all in that area. Another beautiful song, Mr. Dixon!
Thank you Jesus for giving me strength to endure 4 years of infertility. I am excited to receive my promised baby thru your name & timing❤🙏
Like Hannah prayed for Samuel. ❤ praying for you and your little one. God's timing is good!
God will bless you with twins. .
@@ebierekoroye2327 lol. He did bless me..but not with twins. With a baby boy :)
I built a boat, so let it rain.... to me this song translates as my boat is my faith and how i build it makes a difference for both me and the people i encounter. I struggle with mental illness and the best medicine I ever ingested was God's word....build my faith with it everyday!😊 if i dont, my boat doesnt float right!😢
I'm crying and I need to cry right now..This song speaks to my soul and situation perfectly..Thank you Lord for saving me, and dealing with me and my mess.🙌
Being someone who listens to worship music everyday, I find this an absolute win!
I've been wanderin' through the desert
Ain't seen a cloud in forever over me
But I believe Your rain is comin', mm
Yeah, I've been hangin' onto high hopes
'Cause You're the one who's makin' dry bones come to life
You're the light I put my trust in
Every word You say is gonna come true
You will lead me to the promised land
Everything You say is gonna happen
Even though I haven't seen it yet
I will build a boat in the sand where they say it never rains
And I will stand up in faith, I'll do anything it takes
With Your wind in my sails, Your love never fails or fades
I'll build a boat in the desert place
And when the flood and the water starts to rise, yeah
I'll ride the storm 'cause I got You by my side
With Your wind in my sails, Your love never fails or fades
I'll build a boat, so let it rain
You're the map, You're my compass
You help me navigate the currents underneath
Take the lead, I surrender
Every word You say is gonna come true
You will lead me to the promised land
Everything You say is gonna happen
Even though I haven't seen it yet
I will build a boat in the sand where they say it never rains
I will stand up in faith, I'll do anything it takes
With Your wind in my sails, Your love never fails or fades
I'll build a boat in the desert place
And when the flood and the water starts to rise, yeah
I'll ride the storm 'cause I got You by my side
With Your wind in my sails, Your love never fails or fades
I'll build a boat, so let it rain
I'll build a boat, so let it rain
I will build a boat in the sand where they say it never rains
I will stand up in faith, I'll do anything it takes
With Your wind in my sails, Your love never fails or fades
I'll build a boat in the desert place
And when the flood and the water starts to rise, yeah
I'll ride the storm 'cause I got You by my side
With Your wind in my sails, Your love never fails or fades
I'll build a boat, so let it rain
...
Thanks 😍 God Blessed 🙏🏻
Hallelujah
YES and AMEN
HALLELUJAH@#♥️♥️♥️
These words! So touching and powerful, makes me wonder what I've done lately in faith, maybe I should build my own boat...no shortage of dry places in my life. 🙏🏿💜
Colton this song is a blessing to the nations! It is a lifter and reminder of what God can and will do! It releases joy in my soul immediately! Praise God for this beautiful song!!
Hadn't heard a song that speaks to the soul in a while. this was just what was needed! Thank you
Truth resonates at a frequency your soul can hear
Tell me about it!
@@BrianSmyth DF FCC
Try the song I thank God that song speaks to you
I'm currently going through a marriage battle and it seems like the end of it is near.. Confiding in God is all I have and all I need. This song like a few others I've heard, keep my head out of the murky waters a little more and my drive set on knowing I need to grow stronger and deeper in my Faith. God is our everything we need, he knows what's going to happen and what's best for us always. All we need to do is spread our Faith to as many as possible. Be the fishermen of the masses as he intended. May everyone who is going through a hard time, decision, life changing period that seems inevitable in any way. Hear this song and feel the love grow in them for God and for the love he has always had for us too. These are the times we need to prove our Faith's perseverance and love as Jesus does. God bless everyone, keep your head held towards Him and your heart open to receiving.
I started tearing up listening to that. I thought that “Miracles” was an awesome song but this completely COMPLETELY exceeds it. This might be my new favorite song. It is so amazing. I thank God for this song it’s so incredibly beautiful I don’t know how to put it into words.
Yes I agree that this is better than Miracles!
Pppppppppppppppppppl lll
I love this song too! Way better
Me too. I cry like a baby! This song and all that matters 😭
ditto!
Whatever it takes. Obedience opens up the windows of heaven for restoration. Love. Faith. Hope. True love rooted in You Jesus never fails. Perfect love drives out ALL fear. I know You’ll never leave my side Abba, no matter where I stand or sit, I will lift my eyes up to You Yeshua! All you promised me is so much bigger than the endless chasm of my anguish. You said it; it will come to pass. Hold me Abba when I can’t stand without Your support, be my rock on which I will continue to build by faith on every word you’ve spoken to me and all the prophecies you’ve shown and declared for me as my inheritance and destiny. You’ve already declared victory. Take me to the place where the heavens open up and the deluge of my harvest for the past 21 + yrs ushers me into my promised land!
Numbers 23:19
Praying for all of us to always feel that great Wind in our sails. God bless you, Colton Dixon, for this deep sea soul succor!!!
This song has my 53 year old, overweight, out of shape self jumping up and down like a energetic kid! Praise you Lord!
💖This song ministers to me each and every time I hear it. Praise God for Christian music! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Many tears shed every time I hear it and remember God's faithfulness!🥳🥳 Amen!!
I AM SO GLAD TO BE IN THE FIGHT!!!!!!!!!! JESUS CHRIST YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love, love, love your music Colton!!! Keep em coming for the glory of God!!
God is great for ever and ever! Never give up when u see the storm coming and you feel like can’t. God will always take control. 🙏
I agree with you this was made off of Noah’s Ark because Noah believed that a storm was coming in all the others did not believe him and he grabbed two of each every other animal and put them on the boat with him and so God bless you. I hope you have a good life.❤
This song lift me up when I feel defeated. But it really make me get up out my seat and praise God. Tears of joy in my heart is healing during times I'm feeling pain.
About 15 years ago God promised me that I would have a soulmate. I gave up my entire college career, all my hopes and dreams, I've been through several financial difficulties, and working at a job I have never desired to work all for a woman who at first didn't even want to at least be friends with me; but yet the Lord continues to tell me have faith that everything is going to come to pass. And it hasn't happened yet, I'm still waiting.... but I know it's going to happen. I can feel it in my spirit that I'm about to get my breakthrough. So if you're waiting on the Lord and it feels like you've been in the desert for so long, just keep holding on. God is not a liar. The Bible says that all things work out for good for those who love Him. Don't give up. Keep pressing on. And all God's people said: Amen :)
I heard it on the radio during my commute this morning and I had to listen to it again. To God be the glory for such an uplifting song!
I started crying reading your story. I am sorry for your loss, but I am thankful that you found Christ. He will always be with you. I have had alot of family die recently, loss of transportation and so much more, but I also know with Christ all things are possible. I will keep you in my prayers as I do for the whole world. You are on the "winning team" 😊. We will see our loved ones again someday soon.
My husband and I just started trying to have a baby. It's only the 1st month & I already hate it. My period is due tomorrow & my body is giving me so many mixed signals I don't know which way is up anymore. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high but it's so hard. This song is helping. All I can do is build the boat & pray and wait for rain.
I know it's hard when you want a baby. We stressed out for months trying for our first. The stress actually made it more difficult to conceive. Try to just relax and enjoy your time together. Don't rush it, because once the baby comes, you'll want those memories. Let God do the rest.
We ended up having three boys. 😊
Keep your head up and just trust in Him and his timing. ❤
My father had cancer as a child so he wasn't able to have kids. Now, we are a happy family of four and both me and my sister are adopted.
Just remember...there are always other options out there and I believe God works through adoption and that's how He brought me and my sister to our family ❤
@Annaliz you are right and I am so thankful that if pregnancy doesn't work for me, I do have other options. I just wasn't prepared for the emotional toll trying to conceive would have.
The baby will come in due time congratulations
Never lose hope! My brother and his beautiful wife just had their first on March 6,2023. They experienced two miscarriages prior, but they never lost hope in God! Put God first and maintain that special one on one personal relationship with God amd watch God perform a miracle! I will remember you in my prayers!
God bless you Colton for using your talent and skills as a vessel of blessings from the the Lords through your talent and hard work ❤
I can’t put into words what this song does to me and how I praise His name all throughout it! Thank you Jesus! My faith is in you! When they think I’m crazy, I’ll build a boat so let it rain ❤
Same
@@KadenPerkins999 feels so good, doesn’t it? I’m finally living instead of existing ❤
Thank you for explaining so well what this song does to and for me.
@@jacolynblunt4020 when the rains and storms come, we’ll build our boat and praise Him no matter how it feels. He’s always there and He’s always got us 🙌 He won’t let us drown. It may feel like it but He’ll never let go.
I’m 11 years old and this year I will be turning 12. My grandmother was told that she had cancer and everyone prayed for her.After the surgery the mass had been removed and she was told they could not find any cancer thank god for answered prayers.🙏🏻
God is amazing ❤
REMEBER it's always God, it's never a coincidence ❤
Keep going that way and stay pure 😍🙏
This is a beautiful song and really touches my heart. I have a situation I have been dealing with but God is faithful. This song is encouraging.
Listen closely to the words, you may find your answer... There's definitely a reason it touched your heart. When God speaks to us, it's not always what you expect. Faith.
I'm praying for you
This is the best Christian song I've heard in a while. Thank you.
You know a worship song is a success when you hear it and you can’t help but lift your arms in praise. Mine shot up straight to the sky, almost of their own accord, and my heart poured out to the Lord. Just as it should be ✝️❤️
Amen
I’m only 13….but this song really lifts my heart….my grandma had cancer and died from it but then this song came out and I listened to it over and over again because my grandma loved telling me about the story of noah….and well thank you Mr. Dixon……thanks so much…..have a blessed day ❤❤
Colton Dixon...I pray that God continues to use you.....i get so excited when I see your name and music on my XM channel.....You are such a wonderful gift from God.....Love all your songs..but Build A Boat is absolutely powerful, delightful & I will buy this album..
GOD BLESS YOU...from San Diego, California
I'm 10 and I love this song cuz my grandparents are gone 'bout a year now. I know Jesus is here. Love yall stay safe
God Bless You Sweetness! Jesus IS here!
My favorite song that's really how I feel. Thank you Colton for allowing God to use you. 💗
You know this song hits home for me.... I love Colton Dixon
This song is my heart cry and has built my faith as I'm seeing breakthrough in many areas including healing from paralysis.
Was at my therapist last week, she has this sand table... one of the things I put there was a boat... now I know why. Shalom Colton, this is a wonderful song.
This song means so much to me and my wife. Thank you Lord for all you do for us and still doing for us. God bless you all and put a hedge of protection around you all. All Glory to God and His Kingdom. God's Will God's Way. These are Glory Days Not Gloomy Days.
This song is really cutting through the noise in my life right now. Thank you for this song and so many others.
I remember when this guy started on one of those talent shows on TV, where he bravely played origiinal songs he wrote. He didn't win, but I knew he would make it.
Beautifully ties so many great stories of faith from the good book. Beautiful and poetic piece of worship!
Beautiful song and message thank you Colton for allowing God to use you,! 🙏💝
This song reminds me the day I was babtized from my pastor and, last wensdday my pastor told ppl that how hard working I am and how I help ppl and is very nice. This song also reminds me when God is with me when I’m being yelled at being bullied crying and alone. Thx for having this song
I love this song!!! It was exactly what I needed to hear this morning 🌞
This has been my kick start to my daily devotions. So love this song..
His love never fails or fades, He has plan for you that is so much better than anything you could ever imagine yourself doing! He is your lighthouse he leads you through the storm, He guides you too shore. Everything he says is going to happen someday. He has more love for you than all the love in the world combined. So build a boat and a sail where They say it will never rain, in a dessert place, because he is with you, and no matter what your going through he's going to be with you.
I hope everyone who reads this has a great day and an even better week!!
After watching the documentary Superspreader last night I was praying and asking God what I can do so that I can be a part of this revival movement and not sit on the sidelines. Listening to this song I feel like my “boat” that I am to build is to start a revival seeking Bible study in my home
This is one of my favorite songs. I love this so much. The words are so good.
Just listened to your podcast interview with Tracy Tiernan and have so much respect for you - actually have had since your American Idol tryout with your sister. Your music always speaks from relationship with God, which is truly a blessing for us to be inspired by. 'Let Them See You' has been one of my all time favorites. God's hand is evident in your life. Many Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia!
I can't get enough of this song. It is always in my head even when not listening to it. I love it. Keep singing these beautiful songs Colton. 🥰
This song is my song of guidance im feeling so lost and out of control and broken and I know the only one who can put the piece together and break chains and give me my rescue boat is Jesus . Thank you Colten Dixon for this reminder that there's hope
“For a mere moment I have forsaken you,
But with great mercies I will gather you.
With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment;
But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,”
Says the Lord, your Redeemer.
“For this is like the waters of Noah to Me;
For as I have sworn
That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth,
So have I sworn
That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
For the mountains shall depart
And the hills be removed,
But My kindness shall not depart from you,
Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,”
Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
“O you afflicted one,
Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems,
And lay your foundations with sapphires.
I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
Your gates of crystal,
And all your walls of precious stones.
All your children shall be taught by the Lord,
And great shall be the peace of your children.
In righteousness you shall be established;
You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me.
Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.
“Behold, I have created the blacksmith
Who blows the coals in the fire,
Who brings forth an instrument for his work;
And I have created the spoiler to destroy.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord."
~ Isaiah 54:7-17
Thank you for this! 🙏🏿💜
Amen!!!✝️
Yes!
🙏 amen!
This song is not how you feel,it’s about God’s love for us and trust for every obstacle!!😊
This song hit me while driving. First time I heard it was on Air1. I busted down crying tears of joy. Why? I really don't know, but it felt like God is preparing me, even though I don't understand why sometimes, which was just like Noah building a boat. Thank you for this song.
I just heard this for the first time last night while driving! I got goosebumps and couldn’t help but put one hand up to praise His name… AMAZING!
We are being prepared..He's calling us..put on the full armor of God!
Oh cool
Listened this many times but today was exceptionally different. I've felt stuck over my life and faith altogether.. Suddenly this song came while i was driving alone. idk why but tears started flowing and cried out aloud like never before ..there goes my frustation that i hold years after years out just like that, then i overwhelmed with peace. It did awake my faith at the moment Holy Spirit reminded me that He's faithful,lead us to the promise land = The eternal where we finish the race & see HIM face to face.
He'll sustain us and hold our faith securely in Jesus alone ❤ thank you for this beautiful song!
Bless you!!!!!!❤
I love, love, love the message of this song - no matter what it looks like, what it feels like, or what people say; I've got to build that boat because God said so.
God is my shelter and my hope, I love this song. I believe that God will help me through everything. I am a kid that is ten, because of all my faith in him, my middle name is faith. Every night, I listen to this song because I feel like God is talking to me through Cristian music. He has helped me so much. Look forward to getting baptized.
I can’t believe how beautiful this song is. They made me cried. His promises are so amazing . It’s just FAITH!!! ❤
Colton's voice just gets better every year.
We are singing this for our spring program. I love so much!!!🥰
This song is so beautiful! Full of the Fragrance of Heaven! Full of the Holy Spirit!
Preached to them on what roaming threw the desert is and how to live what the word says hope I can attend church tonight with the real pastor preaching
My teacher plays this song all the time when we are working it helps us all calm down and focus! 🥰 may Jesus be with you 🙏
I'm signign up for the class ... whatever it is.
@@byronrogers4489 it's a Lutheran School he plays it in study hall for the 3 of us not in band
I can't find the CD anywhere so I come here every day, sometimes more than twice a day, just to listen to my favorite song since January 2023. And because I can't buy it the CD anywhere and Colton hasn't come to New Orleans recently, I had to go on his website to buy the tshirt. It is officially my new favorite shirt and will be treasured so I can make it last. Hoping that Colton sees this comment and plans a show in the New Orleans/southeast Louisiana area soon. And please release more copies of Canvas! It sells out as soon as it comes back in stock! ❤️(Comment left June 12, 2024)
I recently found God again, and this song has really hit me hard! Love it has been on repeat on my playlist over and over! ❤❤
For people having hard times this is a perfect song! I tells God is always right there and will never leave your side.
✝️ love you
Praise God and Jesus
Amen
This is deep faith. The deepest faith. To build a boat in the desert and let God do his thing. What a thought.
Colton Dixon is SO underrated
AGREED. He actually has wrote a lot of artist songs they sing, but gets no credit same with Matthew West
YESSS
yessir he is like the best
Ok so does underrated mean good or bad?
AGREED
In 2020 I was diagnosed with PCOS and then 2021 I lost my dad,this song has helped me so much these past few years ❤
I just wanna appreciate how much he put into this song because it is beautiful inspiring and makes me feel comfortable.
I'm 8yrs and I'm loving the song.
Never wanted to dance so bad.
Jump and dance and sing and
shout and scream of God’s
eternal goodness!!!! He is the
forever promise keeper who
will never change. Thank you
Oh God for all you are to me!!!
One of my favorite songs. So inspiring on the type of faith that we need to have as Christians.
😭This song is a beautiful blessing!!🙌🏽 Our God is Faithful and never fails ❤️
May the Lord refresh you as you refresh others in Jesus Mighty name amen ✝️
Me and my boyfriend listen to this song all the time together when we both feel like we need to be reminded how God will hold us no matter what happens. ❤🙌
I have not heard a new song from Colton in quite sometime. I love your music and this song is beautiful. Please do not stay away for so long again. Your voice, lyrics and music is so good and meaningful. Thank you for this song. Keep them coming.
This song expresses accurately and specifically what God has been speaking to me. I love being able to sing the promise of God in faith. Thank you for writing this song!
My new favorite song ❤️ Thank You Colton! ✝️
Let's all face it, Colton is one of the best and the real deal.
All Glory to God!! 😇🙏🙌🙌🙌
