‘God Has Just Used This Song,’ Colton Dixon Says of Chart-Topping ‘Build a Boat.’

Colton Dixon says he didn’t realize he had a hit song when he recorded Build a Boat, which spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Christian radio chart and more than 45 weeks on the Hot Christian Songs chart, where it has yet to exit. Build a Boat was Dixon’s first chart-topping song on Billboard’s Christian AC Airplay chart. Inspired by the story of Noah, it encourages Christians to walk through life with faith even when the situation seems dire. (“I will build a boat in the sand where they say it never rains.”)
