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.
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 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
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. ❤️✝️
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
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 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
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 ❤
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 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.
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.
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!!!
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. 🙏🏿💜
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. ❤️❤️❤️
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.
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 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.
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 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.🙌
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!!! ❤️ ✝️ 🌧🙌🏻🌧
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.
💖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 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.
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.
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.
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 ❤
“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
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.
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 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.
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.
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 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!
😭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 ✝️
Colton bro I really enjoy your songs It really makes me feel light and energetic. I can feel God's grace and love ❤️❤️ You're really an inspiration to this generation I hope you keep spreading God's word through your music 🥰 Huge Love from India 🇮🇳❤️
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.
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!!
I'm in the process of building my boat. I'm anticipating in faith that the Lord will fill and guide it. I'm so excited for you, that you are ready for the rain. Keep the faith!
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’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 ❤❤
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.
I've been wandering through the desert Ain't seen a cloud in forever over me But I believe Your rain is coming, mm Yeah, I've been hanging onto high hopes 'Cause You're the one who's making 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 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
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!
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 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 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.

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. 🙏🏿💜
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.

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!
😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
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.
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!
This song is so peaceful. Absolutely beautiful! Thanking God for Colton Dixon
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.
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!

Try the song I thank God that song speaks to 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 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.🙌
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 ❤
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!!! ❤️ ✝️ 🌧🙌🏻🌧
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! ❤❤
This song is my heart cry and has built my faith as I'm seeing breakthrough in many areas including healing from paralysis.
All I can say is LET'S TAKE BACK THE RAINBOW FOR OUR SAVIOUR🌈
I never let them take mine. That belongs to God. It's the covenant he made with us. LET'S ROCK THE RAINBOW FOR GOD!
YESSIR BRO I SAY LET US CHRISTIANS PROTEST TO GET OUR RAINBOW RESTORED@@NC_SUGAR
Don't worry. They never took it, it belongs to God and His Glory.

yaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
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
Just scrolling through you tube and found this wonderful gem. Great song and message. Thanks be to God. Amen. 👊🏿⭐🙏🏿
💖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!!
Being someone who listens to worship music everyday, I find this an absolute win!
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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 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
@@ContentX94 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.
Love, love, love your music Colton!!! Keep em coming for the glory of God!!
This is my favorite song! I always get excited when it’s on😄 God bless! 💜
“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 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

Huge Love from India 🇮🇳❤️

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.
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!!
I am ready LORD, my boat is built and I am READY FOR YOUR RAIN❤😇❤😇!!!
I'm in the process of building my boat. I'm anticipating in faith that the Lord will fill and guide it. I'm so excited for you, that you are ready for the rain. Keep the faith!
This song is really cutting through the noise in my life right now. Thank you for this song and so many others.
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
This song is a commitment to GOD! This song is beautiful! Thanks Colton.
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
Very good song... God bless and continue to use you Colton. ❤
I'm living in chronic pain but pray he will work his miracles.

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.
I've been wandering through the desert
Ain't seen a cloud in forever over me
But I believe Your rain is coming, mm
Yeah, I've been hanging onto high hopes
'Cause You're the one who's making 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
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
That message took a long time to write
Thank u for taking ur time and writing all of that. God bless u!! 🙏💖💕❤💗
@@MyaNoelle-ub7ft God bless you too!
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!
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 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!😢
One of the best songs Colton Dixon has wrote in awhile! LOVE it!!! It will be definitely be on repeat! God, I will build a boat! So, powerful!! 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏻
This is an anointed hit. I love the words. It moves me in a special way. My newest gospel favorite!
❤ listen to Shara McKee “I Held On”
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.
Absolutely love this song!
