Christ centered songs written by Dan Simmons...the best Gospel and inspirational A.I. music on the internet!
"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 There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site.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, Bob, Chris, Marty and Tata) 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. (Dan is a retired firefighter and ordained minister)

Story behind the song
Got a Christmas card from Bob and family and he sent the poem along with it. I immediately thought this could be a good song. So, I edited and added a bit and this is the results. It reminds me of the conversation God had with Job.
Lyrics
Where were you...when I laid the earth's foundation Were you there...when I filled the mighty sea Where were you...when I hung the stars in heaven Were you there...when all this came to be Where were you...when I gave the morning sunshine Were you there...when I gave the moon the night Where were you...when I formed the tallest mountains Were you there...when I bathed the world with light Where were you...when I planted fields of clover Where were you...when the clouds formed in the sky Where were you...when I sprinkled earth with raindrops Were you there...when I taught the birds to fly You weren't there...but I saw you in the distance No, you weren't there... yet I knew you from a far You weren't there...when the world came into existence You weren't there...so I'll meet you...where you are No, you weren't there...but I'll meet you...where you are Yes I'll meet you...where you are
