In his response, Crowder shared a video affirming Frank's collaboration request by adding lyrics of his own. 

"Rains came down, but the house was still standing/ Stone foundation made the guys' own planning /Never try to hit me with the fear I'm laughing/ Faith so strong that the chain keeps snapping," the lyrics state in part.

He also wrote in the caption, "what do you think @hiforrest?"

Last month, Frank shared that he fractured both his L3 and L4 vertebrae after a skateboard crash and ended up writing the viral song "God's Got My Back" and "Lemonade," both inspired by his accident. Two weeks later, the artist announced he was miraculously healed.

"I'm pretty much convinced God would've healed me day 1 from all these prayers, but He wanted these songs & this testimony [to] come to life. Regardless, I'm here for it all ...ruined for the ordinary. THANK YOU JESUS," he said at the time. 

According to The Christian Post, both artists received nominations at the 56th Annual Gospel Music Association's Dove Awards on October 7 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Crowder is nominated for three Dove Awards, while Frank is nominated for seven Dove Awards, including the awards for Songwriter of the Year and Artist of the Year.
