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 There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site.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)

Lyrics
I know you've been walking down a long and lonely street I know you've been standing there facing broken dreams I know you've been crying out not knowing what means...you don't know Questions without answers is what your life has come to be You're searching through the darkness for a Light...so you can see Standing by you in the shadow, waiting there in line Down every road you've traveled He's been with you all the time Open up your heart to Jesus and I know you'll finally find The answers to the question that plague your troubled soul Everything that He will be is everything you ever need to know Well, Jesus will rise up....help you face the dawn He's gonna be the one that you can lean upon He's gonna stand by you when all your strength is gone Jesus...will help you face the dawn Seems tomorrow's looking bleak and you can't see the Way But there is One that you can seek and cry out to today Storms may rise, winds may blow. hope may fade till it is almost gone Just lift your eyes and you will see the rising Son of victory Cause the darkest part of every night...is the hour just before the dawn Well, Jesus will rise up help you face the dawn He's gonna be the one that you can lean upon He's gonna stand by you when all your strength is gone Jesus...will help you face the dawn Well, well, well... Jesus will rise up help you face the dawn He's gonna be the one that you can lean upon He's gonna stand by you when all your strength is gone Jesus...will help you face the dawn Jesus...will help you face the dawn

Dan, thank you so much for this song. It has been a great encouragement and comfort to me and my friends during these days. "Cause the darkest part of every night...is the hour...just before the dawn" - this is a message right from Jesus to us. - Lea -
