Colton Dixon - Build a Boat (with Mercy Ships) [Official Studio Performance]

Lyrics:

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
Cuz 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’ve been wandering through the desert
Ain’t seen a cloud in forever
Over me, but I believe
The rain is coming

I've been hanging on to high hopes
Cuz 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’s gonna come true
You will lead me to
the promised land
Everything you said’s gonna happen
Even though I haven’t seen it yet

You’re the map, you’re my compass
You help me navigate the current
Under me, take the lead
I surrender

Gotta be honest... I'm not that religious but this will always be stuck in my head.
Started a driving job last year for a small company. My boss is very religious and he gave me a Bible and bookmarked John for me. A few weeks later I started listening to Christian music...

I was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and this song has had a big impact on me. God can do anything I just need faith even when I don’t understand why.

I serve with Mercy Ships and this is a great partnership. Thank you, Colton.

Standing alone, like Noah and building a boat on dry ground in a place where it’s never rained is a mighty fine example of how God’s wisdom is foolishness to men. (1 Corinthians 1:25)

[reckerzz]

He's so underrated, keep it up man, keep going, I;'ve been listening to you since your idol journey

[GraceTruth]

I can't stop crying when I see this beautiful video about one mother's hope for her son's healing!

[WiseWookie]

I met my wife on the Africa Mercy about 15 years ago, we now have 4 kids and one way or another I plan to go back one day, also I love this song.

[jimbowles]

[GodTurnItAround]

Wow wow wow!! Now I’m crying! This is my oldest daughter’s favorite song. I never knew the story behind this song until watching this video. Such a blessing to so many. My heart is exploding at the thought of how many lives are changed due to Mercy Ships! God bless you all!!

[johnlouiedomingogalang]

Reminds me of how Noah never doubted what God can do with His promises that never fail! Thank you for this inspiring message, Colton! 🚢✨️

[celinamoserbaginski]

Thank you so much for continuing to praise our Lord and inspiring our youth. My 11 year old son likes your music and it's encouraging him!

[sherryhaynes]

Life troubles can be a lot... I pray everyone listening get the courage and strength to know you are never alone even when you feel like you are- and I know the feeling of facing it all alone being a single mom away from my family in a new country, with sick parents back home. I feel like the world is crushing on me but I fight with every once of strength as I am certain we are never alone GOD is always with us.
This too will pass he got us! Just be still and trust him!

[glendaolvera]
