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...

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)

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.

One of my favorite Christian artists.

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

If you have had a tough time remember that God is always with you and loves you

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

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!

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.

Im listening to this after just finding out my son is in a terrible place in his Sobriety and Mental illness.. God🙏🙏 As long as you are with me, let it 🌧️ Rain... Thank you Colton for this great worship song . 🙌

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

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

God of infinite wisdom and light, creator of all that is holy, heaven and earth are filled with Your glory! I pray that I can love You with all of my heart and strength, with every fiber of my being I wish to rejoice in You, as the rest of Your creations do. I shall rejoice in Your name and exalt Your creations this day and always. Amen.

May JESUS bless those Mercy Ships are reaching through the touch of HIS healing and abundant love for those dealing with storms in their lives

I’m so happy how beautiful you deliver our mission in helping others. I work in Mercy Ships! We are sharing your song all over our campus❤ I wish you all for good health and great blessings ❤ and show out to the Mercy Ships in ISC Texas ✌🏽

Wow, this song goes with a New Bible Study , I just started. Are you on the ARK, THE FLOOD, THE STORM- JESUS IS COMING BACK, AND GODS WRATH, PLEASE GET ON THE ARK, WHILE YOU CAN, JESUS LOVES YOU ❤️

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!!

I've heard this song driving to work, at crisis center. Only now, when sharing the song. I see the reason I felt the song so powerfully! God is Amazing! May He Bless us all! In Jesus Name!!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG! THANK GOD FOR COLTON AND HIS AMAZING VOICE AND MUSIC! IT FILLS YOUR SOUL WITH JOY!!💗🕊🙌

God I love you. Thank you for helping all of the underprivileged when the world turns us away. You look in our direction not because we are cursed. Because you love us so much to prove to the world no one absolutely no one no matter where they are. Your eyes Father God are what keeps us in faith and hope. God bless the underdogs God bless the angels through your spirit that keeps us moving when the world won't. I love you God thank you Jesus. 💯

This is exactly what the world needs we need more singer like you!!😜😘😘😝

I'm building my boat.i was in a dry place, then I got frozen! Now the rain washed it all away in the Name of Jesus Christ Thank you!🙏🙏😞🙏

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!

Got to meet him at resound festival. Was able to share my story with him. How God used his music and his ministry to speak to me in one of my darkest times. He was on a very strict schedule and was not taking pictures with anyone but there were a few fans that he told his manager to not let leave because he wanted to pray over them. Unfortunately I didn't get the msg before it was to late and I had already left. My sister had called to see if I was close enough ti come back. I wasn't but that's OK. He made him self late for his next stop because he felt called to pray with and over a few of the people he met that night. Thank you Colten for allowing God to work through you. May he bless you and your family in the next adventures you are on.

A boat of faith will weather any storm! 🌈 🕊

I pray for you all 🙏🫶i love you guys always. 😘🩷🤝

Such a HOPEFUL song.... along with such gorgeous children/ people .. sob.. sob.. sob sniff! I believe in prayer .... • first I shall thank my Holy Father for His unfailing LOVE that reached the children. • second I love to add the children & people in the video in my prayer journal. Much blessings to you Mr Dixon. Continue to make HOPEFUL music in the Name of our Risen Lord (Jesus). Amen.

This is guaranteed one of the best worship songs❤❤

Best song ever. Thank you, GOD. Anything is possible with GOD BY YOUR SIDE if going through something their will be light after the tunnel.This song could not have come into my life in a better time ❤

This song brings joy to my heart! Thank you, Colton for this amazing song! ❤

I'd hate to know where I'd be today w/o Gods love and graces! He's helped me through many storms.

This song serves as a much needed reminder for me. I have been dealing with serious digestive system issues, and it is really taking its toll on me. I have lost 80 pounds since May 2022. I keep praying for God to help me. I know he answers prayers but in his time. Please pray for me.

Heard this song earlier on The Family 88.5fm Christian radio ❤🎶🎶🎶❤

Omg My sweet dear friend sent me this I'm going to make surgery appt for complete hip replacement, our God is so good my problem seems small after seeing these little boys ,Praise God for he is our hero, our Savior and our creator,AMEN! Ty Miss Julie !

I have been believing for restoration of my marriage since March 2020, I heard this song and it resonated with me about believing for what the world says will never happen ! God is a miracle worker !!!

Love this song, I have lived on board the African Mercy for more than 6 years, and I have had a great time there. Thax for the partnership there. Again great song. May the Lord bless all of you!

Beautiful. Blessing to all the brothers and sisters fighting the good fight.

Thank you to all who volunteer on the Mercy Ships to help those who have medical problems that can't get the help they need. You all are a blessing to all who come to you. I pray that GOD would move in a mighty way to help more and for His love and grace to be poured out to you and through you to others.

What an awesome testimony to what can be achieved in the name God to help the real needy people of this world! Thank you Colton for this wonderful story and the love of these people who built the Mercy Ship! 🙏🙏🙏

I don't know how say this. When I first met Colton for 1st time. We have close birthdays but diff generation. But y'all I feel like we're aligned with the stars even when I'm thinking of a song he just says it right out of my head. I knew he was special.. I'm so happy for him.. I needed these songs to lift me up.. 😊

This song is my anthem. Through all of what I've been through, a car wreck, almost dying from COVID, my daughter being born with Cystic Fibrosis, my wife and I's financial struggles and anxiety. I know God is going to come through in the end!!!

Well how appropriate that this song and video came to my phone today. Amidst the raging rains that are pouring down on California we seem to be in God’s boat protected from all the destruction around us. What a beautiful song and I hope one day I can help Colton Dixon build a boat.❤️

I heard this song a while ago but never realized that it was in partnership with MercyShips. They are an amazing ministry. Thanks.

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 hangin on to 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's gonna come true You will lead me to the promised land Everything you said's gonna happen Even through 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 menubuscar close Build a Boat Colton Dixon Ouça Build a Boat 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 hangin on to 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's gonna come true You will lead me to the promised land Everything you said's gonna happen Even through 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 current Under me take the lead I surrender Every word you say's gonna come true You will lead me to the promised land Everything you said's gonna happen Even through 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

Colton, please keep writing and singing songs to inspire and reach everyone. Praise God

Sitting here with goosebumps from this powerful message. Fantastic job Colton!

Wow! ! ! ! I first heard this song on the radio and just liked it and added it to my playlist but never actually watched the video until now. Wow! What a powerful story. I now think I like the video as much as the song!

My foster brother had the same medical issue with his feet but now they are both fixed!! 😊so special this video is!! And great song too

Imagine if we took our energy to stop fighting over what a boy and girl and put that energy in helping others. Imagine.

Wow! Thanks Colton! I love Mercy Ship and all they do for people who can't afford it! Totally awesome! Their new ship looks awesome too! Praise God! 🥰☺️😍❤️🛳️⛴️

This song gives so much Hope which is what our relationship with Jesus provides. HOPE! We ALL need HOPE! Thank you.

My favorite praise song atm. Absolutely beautiful, it feels my eyes with tears every time I hear it. Come, Sweet, Lord Jesus.❤

The lyrics, the voice, and the rhythm are so powerful. I'm filled with gratitude; thank You, Lord!

I never get tired of this song

Ohmygosh. I went to Africa on a mission trip back in 2003. This was just a beautiful video/story...

This song never gets old, it's more than just a song, it's about stepping out in faith no matter how long it may take or how many obstacles you have to overcome!!

The best lyrics ever!!! So promising and such a strong faith and trust ❤

Glory Haleluja!! Praise God!! I'll build a boat!!🙌🙏

Now, THIS is Colton!!!! The Colton I knew and admired.

What a beautiful video with Mercy Ships in it!! I already loved the song, but love to see all those happy kids in this special video. God bless them and the work of all those heroes that work on the ship. GBY all!!

I agree with Rex C. I have been a fan of Colton's since he was on American Idol! You were great then and have continued to build on that! God continue to bless you Colton!

I can’t get enough of this song!!!! Praise God for his promises and never leaving us and showing us what to do next!

Yes my lord i love worship songs that are leading us to Gods heart i see your message so true in my life i thank you for reminding me of the hope that I have in my Savior

I did not see this video until today. I gives a whole new meaning to this amazing song. God bless you for partnering with Mercy Ships!

This is my daughter’s absolute FAVORITE song!!! Her voice is so beautiful and sounds wonderful. Thank you Colton, for giving her a wonderful song. ❤❤🙏🙏

thank you Lord for people willing to carry your hope and mercy to others no matter what it takes help us to the same where ever we can

One of my favorite songs and artist! So glad you are sharing this wonderful story! Mercy ship is a blessing!!

Thank you brother; through this song you're enhancing our FAITH to GOD. Like the FAITH of Noah when God asked him to build an ark for the saving of his household; animals ( despite the fact that they were in the desert.) Then....the flood arrived and destroyed the wicked and unbelievers. ( Genesis 7:1-16 ) More blessings to you my brother.

My math teacher was playing worship music and this was the first song she played and I’m OMG I saw you in person not knowing she is Christian

I Have Heard Another Song Of His, I Think.. But When I Heard THIS One. Wow!!! I Love This!!! What A Wonderful Song. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I WILL Continue To Support And Look Into Other Music Of His. So Wonderful!! God Bless.

Absolutely. Absolutely Amazing! Thank you for such a beautiful testimony Colton! This is why I decided to become a nurse and I hope one day I can join mercy ships and change or give hope to someone. Be a part of this great mission God has given us to serve each other. In the meantime I serve here in California and in God's time I will take God's love to where he leads to his many children around the world . Our duty is to allow ourselves to be used by God the father to help each other. Once again thank you!

When it rains I WILL BUILD A BOAT!!! God bless you Colton🙌

Love love love this song❤️❤️ God is so good!! Thank you for allowing him to use you!!!

Colton, You are so blessed and awesome. As a started listening to your song in this empty world, I feel that my faith is recovered. For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink both ye and your cattle, and your beasts. 2 kings 3:17 KJV God bless you!

Mercy Ships , which is what this song is about, is an amazing charity that has very little adminisrative costs, and survives because of its donations. I have been on the ship and heard the crew and volunteers say they didn't know what they would have for dinner; they counted on donations from someone in the next port (they were in the US, fundraising. ) They believed God would answer all their needs and he did- there was a big food donation for them in their next port. I love Mercy Ships and highly encourage everyone to donate to them. They make a huge difference in people's lives all over the world.

God Bless Mercy Ships🚢 God bless Colton Dixon.

I love this song ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This song brightens up my day and it reminds me to always have faith when it’s hard to

Love your songs! Love Mercy Ships! Had the amazing opportunity to serve in the ship two times! A highlight of my life! Thanks Colton!!!

My 2 year old son loves this song. He raises his hands in worship when he listens to it.

This is my new fav song

Thank you Jesus for Colton Dixon songs. I declare more blessings to his life, family, & ministry, in Jesus name. Amen.

Awesome song. Love the ministry that so many need it and will be served and saved

Love this song and love these stories. Gods’ will is being done. I love it!

God bless the Mercy Ships ministry!

This is so inspiring!! Thank you, Colton! My best friend and I are doing a Bible study on Noah and talk about a full circle of boat building!! GOD IS SO GOOD!

Tears of joy! "I will build a boat in a desert place" God is good and love is powerful!

GLORY TO GOD AMEN BLESS ALL WHO DO THE WORK OF GOD WITH DEVINE LOVE HELPING OTHERS IN NEED AMEN

Can't wait to see Colton Dixon at Jesus Jam Fest 2022!

Thank you Mercy Ships and thank you Colton for this song!

Awesome Colton. It's amazing how God uses you to touch people's hearts. It was great meeting you last year in Kokomo Indiana. 🙌 Be to God

It's so awesome to make a difference and help others 👍 beautiful song

I love finding new artists. My favorite song right now

Your Band is a FORCE for the eternal Kingdom of God. Rock ON! 🙌✡️☦️✝️

I was in the hospital for a week, and this is what helped me, God can do anything and I now know that because of your song!

This song was such an encouragement when i was in a wilderness place in a narcissistic abusive relationship that would have ended my life one way or another... I was so weak... But Glory to God you made this song 🙏🏻 such a blessing

This reminds me of the Peru medical mission where we also operated a hospital boat to provide free care to patients along the Amazon River. Gosh setting up the hospital boat was hard work, and carrying all the equipment, that was the only part I didn't enjoy as much lol. We worked morning to night. I worked alongside the attendings and surgeons (we travelled together from the US) that summer break and gained a lot experience, including performing endoscopies and colonoscopies and interpreting x-rays and ultrasounds.

You are very talented and clearly have a heart of Gold! Praise God for the Angels he places on this earth with us!

I always listen to this song over and over with my grandson.

What a beautiful song and video of humanity and LOVE!
