Christ centered songs written by Dan Simmons...various styles and genres...One message!

"firesong" is the songwriting ministry of Dan Simmons.

Thanks for stopping by. It's my desire to faithfully share that which has been given to me. This website will be a sampling of recordings that I, along with family and friends, have done over past 45 years. There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site. Special thanks go to my partners in music, my daughter Amber, son Ian and the guys of Single Heart (Gene Simmons, Bob Huston, Marty Smith, Chris Baker and Tata Talili) who joined me to sing praises to the Lord down through the years. I also wish to thank those co-writers and artists that have joined with me in developing new music the passed few years to share on this website. I'm now featuring AI (Artificial Intelligence) groups that I've developed to sing some of the songs.

I hope it's evident to everyone... that though the melodies and harmonies, styles and singers may change... JESUS has always been and will always be...the Song! ...this music is one simple expression of a very thankful heart.

Story behind the song

This song has been sung at many of my friends and families funerals...I wrote it to be sung at mine

Lyrics

I am longing to see that city
Where faith becomes sight
And I am hoping to be there someday
In that city of light 

I've been yearning to cross that river
That flows by God's throne
I am weary and need delivered
From this blind world I've known

I've been travlin' this lonely valley
With my faith leading me
But I won't need my faith yonder
Cause then I will see

Life's a mirror dimly shrouded
Darkened by fear
But that city will be unclouded
And our vision will be clear

I've been travlin' this lonely valley
With my faith leading me
But I won't need my faith up yonder
Cause then I gonna see

Face to face I will see His glory
Knowing as I am known
All my faith I wanna lay before Him
As a gift before His throne

I am longing to see that city
Where faith becomes sight
And I am hoping to be there someday
In that city of light 

Yes I am hoping to be there someday
In that city of light 

In that city of light
