Greatest man in history, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. His name is Jesus.❤

This song played during my graduation and I have been listening to it ever since. My graduation was June 8th. It's July 11th now.

This is so relevant to my 4 year journey to the USA. I had Faith that it would happen because God promised. He fulfilled. Faith over Fear. Amen
Thank you for such a beautiful yet POWERFUL song. Giving hope to those who listens closely.

I’ve been feeling a lot of sadness thinking about all of the people in NC, TN, and FL because of the recent storms and devastation. Then this song came on the radio. It helped me to remember the Light I put my trust in, and all of the love that has covered these areas. I’ve heard the stories of death and destruction, but I’ve also heard the stories of love and unity and stories of God showing up day after day for those in need. ❤

[Not-GFlips]

Lyrics:
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

My new favorite song!! My husband of almost 50 years died last February. I wrote my first Christmas letter and put at end to listen to Build a Boat!! I sing along. Love the song!!

[candicebeamer]

I have been in a time of sifting and the enemy doesn't like it but you know what? I will still stand and love Jesus and trust what HE says about me and let Him mold me.

My son at the time was 11 yrs old and he had a vision of himself and his daddy walking in the desert and a serpent and scorpion faced his daddy, the scorpion jumped into his mouth and lit up the inside of him and his daddy spit it out and they walked into the desert until his dad disappeared and only himself and I his mother were left, after the vision 4 months later his dad died with melanoma cancer. Same year I got breast cancer and my son got covid, we're alive today to tell about the loving God we serve and his faithfulness in the Desert places. He will get you through it and you will love him more on the other side of it...Thank you Colton for your service to the lord in making this song possible to worship God by 🙏 🙌 🔥 We love it 🙏 ♥ 💕 💖

Whoever did the sound and mics on this is incredible! It’s like he has the mic right in front of him.

[pokeytoad]

Wow what a gift you have from God. Beautiful song

[tammybeard]

I love this song so much! It really resonates with my season of my life. It gives me a reminder of God's promises when it's easy to forget in the struggles of daily life.

Many times I will put this song on repeat and play it while I'm driving. Thank you for your encouraging song.
