Colton Dixon Performs Song ‘My Light’ on Fox & Friends Weekend
By Movieguide® Contributor
Colton Dixon performed his song ‘My Light’ from his newest album “Canvas” live from FOX Square.
Dixon stated on FOX & Friends that his album “Canvas” is all about “being a blank canvas and allowing God to tell His story through us. We are so excited that these songs are out in the world.”
Dixon began to sing, ‘When I’m out of hope, so lost and afraid. When I’m in the dark and I can’t seem to find my way. When I’m feelin’ lonely in the dead of the night, I remember the promise.’
Movieguide® recently reported on Dixon’s release of the new album Canvas:
While on his Build a Boat tour, Colton Dixon released a new EP titled Canvas.
“Life is all about perspective – how we view the various season that life has to offer. Every day is a blank canvas to live life to the fullest, and to view the world and the people around us in a new light,” Dixon posted on Instagram. “I hope you find that in these songs and I’m so excited that Canvas is finally yours.”
The EP tells its story through four new songs, “Giants,” “Canvas,” “Hold on to Hope,” and “Unbreakable,” alongside previously released songs “Build a Boat,” and “My Light.”
Dixon’s Build a Boat tour continues across the country through mid-October.
In addition, Movieguide® previously celebrated Dixon’s No. 1 song “Build a Boat”:
Christian artist Colton Dixon’s latest song, “Build a Boat,” is set to be one of his biggest hits yet. In a recent interview, he looks back at the long road he took to get to where he is today.
Dixon was shy when it came to singing as a teen. At a piano recital, where he was playing MercyMe’s “I Can Only Imagine,” his teacher encouraged him to sing along.
“That was the first time I felt the Holy Spirit just kind of show me what the future could look like. And I knew that that’s what I wanted to be a part of,” Dixon shared.
He went on to appear on AMERICAN IDOL and made it to the Top 7, impressing viewers with his performances of songs like “Everything,” “Piano Man,” and “September.”
After leaving the singing reality show, Dixon released his debut album, A Messenger. He also performed at the Movieguide® Awards Gala and Entertainment Industry.
His latest single, “Build a Boat,” tells the story of Noah and his ark. Dixon was inspired to write it after revisiting the story and realizing how much courage he had to start building the ark before there was any rain.
“When Noah was telling people, ‘Hey, God spoke to me and said that a flood was coming,’ there’s no way people in their right mind took him seriously,” Dixon explained. “How often do we let other people dictate our future? We believe what they say more than what God says.”
“Build a Boat” already has over 2 million streams, and his manager says it could be his “career song.”
It has also been at No. 1 on the Christian Adult Contemporary charts for the last four weeks, and Dixon made his Grand Ole Opry debut with a performance of “Build a Boat.”
“Grateful is like the understatement of the year,” said Dixon. “I’m so glad that people are taking this song as their song for this season, saying, ‘I’m believing in something. I don’t see it yet, but I’m gonna build the boat anyway.’”
